Today was dream come true. Everyday is the fulfillment of some dream. Today's dream was talking to Shola Lynch, Award Winning filmmaker of the 2004 Documentary Chisolm '72: Unbought, Unbossed (a favorite). She delivers the goods once again with the Political Crime Drama channeled through the documentary Free Angela and All Political Prisoners. Shola Lynch is a light beam of energy even over the phone when talking about her projects. "We only get one chance to do it. I had to make a film that in the end I liked and could stand behind. If we don't as the 'makers we could mess it up for everybody", explained Shola.

Synopsis:
Free Angela is a documentary that chronicles the life of young college professor Angela Davis, and how her social activism implicates her in a botched kidnapping attempt that ends with a shootout, four dead, and her name on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. The high stakes crime, political movement, and trial that catapults the 26 year-old newly appointed philosophy professor at the University of California at Los Angeles into a seventies revolutionary political icon. Nearly forty years later, and for the first time, Angela Davis speaks frankly about the actions that branded her as a terrorist and simultaneously spurred a worldwide political movement for her freedom.
