A SCARCE FILM POSTER
.
While in Algiers to
cover the 1969 Pan-African Cultural festival,
William Klein met Eldridge Cleaver,
charismatic leader of the Black Panthers and a
fugitive from the United States. For this
documentary, made at the request of Cleaver and
the Algerian government, Klein filmed Cleaver
nonstop for three days, capturing a fascinating
sketch of the controversial figure as he reflects on
racism in America, the attempts on his life, the
VietnamWar, and the relationship between the
American Black Power movement and African
liberation groups. “Wrenching piece of direct
cinema” (Harvard Film Archive).
