On the 38th anniversary of the assassination of Fred Hampton, the MonkeyWrench Film Series presents:

The Murder Of Fred Hampton ( 1971, 91 min.)

An unprecedented documentary on the slain leader of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party, Fred Hampton, killed on December 4th, 1969 by Chicago police while he slept in his apartment.
Filmmakers Mike Gray and Howard Alk were filming a documentary portrait of this charismatic speaker and community organizer when his murder occurred. Arriving at the crime scene only a few hours after the police raid, the unsettling footage they captured was later used to contradict news reports and police testimony in what many believe to be Hampton's assassination.
