What We Want, What We Believe 4xDVD: The Black Panther Party Library
by Roz Payne
An inspirational collection of work, footage, archives, films, and motivation documenting the work and struggles of the Black Panther Party; collecting three acclaimed Newsreel Films: Off the Pig; Mayday; and Repression. These documents stand as true testimonials, illustrating the spirit of community self-defense and political savvy the Panthers are celebrated—and were targeted—for. Also featured here is a massive quantity of rare and exclusive materials culled from Roz Payne's extensive collection of FBI documents, correspondence, and interviews with Black Panthers and their supporters. It's all here, the government-sponsored repression, the trials, exile, triumph, and reunion. A portion of the proceeds from this project will go to support Black Panther Prisoners through Books Behind Bars, the Jericho Movement, and the Human Rights Research Fund. Disc One: Three Newsreel Films, Interviews with Field Marshall Donald Cox, Footage from 35th Anniversary Reunion Disc Two: Interviews with Former FBI Agents discussing COINTELPRO tactics, Footage from the Wheelock Academic Conference on the BPP Disc Three: Interviews with various movement lawyers discussing Panther cases Disc Four: Interviews with Newsreel members, DVD-Rom extras from the Roz Payne Archives
