Viewing Notes
Watched part of this yesterday and today and finally finished the end of it tonight. Very powerful documentary on the life and murder of Fred Hampton who was killed by police around the time I was a year old and my family had moved to Illinois.
This makes me want to track down the Eyes on the Prize documentary series and watch it again.
