"The Murder of Fred Hampton"
THE MURDER OF FRED HAMPTON began as a film portrait of
Hampton and the Illinois Black Panther Party, but half way through the shoot,
Hampton was murdered by Chicago policeman. In an infamous moment in Chicago
history and politics, over a dozen policeman burst into Hampton s apartment
while its occupants were sleeping, killing Hampton and fellow Panther Mark
Clark and brutalizing the other occupants. Filmmakers Mike Gray and Howard Alk
arrived a few hours later to shoot film footage of the crime scene that was
later used to contradict news reports and police testimony. Recently restored
and reworked by Gray, THE MURDER OF FRED HAMPTON is a chilling slice of
American history.
