Fred Hampton,
By
This review is from: The Murder of Fred Hampton (DVD)
Excellent footage of the last speeches/appearances by Fred Hampton. Somewhat difficult to view the "murder" scenes (not for the squeemish). And the blatant cover-ups by Chicago police will leave your blood boiling!

A Grave Injustice,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Murder of Fred Hampton (DVD)
This film displays the evil attitudes and destructive power of the Chicago police department in murdering a shining light named Fred Hampton. "Chairman Fred" as he was known to those who worked and knew him, as displayed in this DVD, is a very committed person in the struggle to uplift his people in his community through education, free clinics, and free breakfast and lunch programs (most of these programs, started by the Black Panther Party was taken over by the Federal Government). If those in power did not fear what Fred and the others in the BPP was doing, who knows what strides we would have made and achievements obtained earlier instead of later.

Messy but valuable study of a man and a murder,
This review is from: The Murder of Fred Hampton (DVD)
A powerful last third makes up for the technical rawness (including some
sections where it's hard to hear what's being said). Hampton can be initially be tough to sympathize with, especially for an audience 40+ years later, as he preaches what sounds like a hopelessly naïve call for violent revolution. But the slowly growing evidence that the so-called 'shoot-out' in which he died was nothing less than the intentional murder murder of a charismatic African-American leader set up by the police is deeply chilling, and makes Hampton's call to take up arms in self-defense seem a little less unreasonable in retrospect. An important reminder of a now all-but-forgotten time in our not so distant history.
