THE MURDER OF FRED HAMPTON
United States | 1971 | Howard Alk
Fred Hampton, the leader of the Illinois Black Panther Party who was played by Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya in the Cleveland-shot Judas and the Black Messiah, was killed in his Chicago apartment by police officers during a notorious predawn raid on 12/4/69. He was 21. This hard-hitting documentary is both a portrait of Hampton and his community activism as well as an investigation of his controversial death. It even contains revelatory footage of the unsecured crime scene shortly after the incident. Restored 35mm print! 88 min.
Special admission $13; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $10. No passes or twofers. The Murder of Fred Hampton provided courtesy of Carol Gray, William Cottle and The Chicago Film Archives. 35mm preservation print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
