  9. Review: 'Free Angela and All Political Prisoners' studies a radical

    Documentarian Shola Lynch, who previously profiled Shirley Chisholm's groundbreaking run for president, turns her lens on another significant African American female figure from the early '70s in "Free Angela and All Political Prisoners."

There were no windows and little ventilation, except for three small holes. One of the holes contained a naked light bulb that was always on, and another held a speaker that played a mixture of propaganda and foreign music, sometimes for hours on end. Worst of all, he was alone.
