DESCRIPTION:Michael Gray in Person\nIntending to create an exploration of the newly 
 formed Chicago chapter of the Black Panther party, the filmmakers 
 documented founder Fred Hampton interacting with the black community for 
 nearly a year. The dynamic 21-year-old inspired with his rallying cry, “I 
 am a revolutionary,” but his statement “I believe I will be able to die 
 as a revolutionary” proved to be disturbingly prescient. He was shot dead 
 in his bed during a police raid on December 4, 1969, in which another 
 Panther also died. Using footage of the shot-up apartment and interviews 
 with Black Panthers, Michael Gray and Howard Alk created an incendiary 
 exposé of the Chicago police force’s role in Hampton’s murder, 
 rebutting the arguments of the Illinois State Attorney and the official 
 police version of events. Immediate and urgent, The Murder of Fred Hampton 
 remains an impassioned and powerful political documentary.—Kathy
