Summary
This is the story of the Angola Three, three remarkable men ? Robert King, Herman Wallace and Albert Woodfox ? who as members of the Black Panther Party have been fighting for justice since the early 1970s.. For decades left forgotten in the depths of America?s bloodiest prison, between them the Angola Three spent over a Century in solitary, and their struggle became an international scandal.. "... The sheer overwhelming enormity of this injustice pierces through, poignantly, again and again. It's a stark depiction of the way racism functions in concert with the criminal justice system ? the ultimate tragedy of American society." - Katie Walsh, The Los Angeles Times
