This documentary has two distinct powerful elements: (1) a riveting record of Fred Hampton's activities and speeches that was in progress at the time of his murder, and (2) the fortunate opportunity to film the murder scene before the Chicago police changed it to fit their false narrative, and walk the viewer through the evidence. This documentary complements Judas and the Black Messiah which focuses less on his speeches and not at all on the police cover-up which it exposed over a year later.
