Davis traces her own path to activism: from the campaign in Birmingham in her youth after the church bombing which killed four of her girlfriends, through her prosecution and incarceration for political work around George Jackson & the Panthers, to her anti-prison work today. David Gilbert: A Lifetime of Struggle (2002), dir. Claude Marks and Lisa Rudman, 30 min. A rare opportunity to go behind prison walls for a discussion with David Gilbert, a lifelong anti-imperialist activist and former member of the Weather Underground organisation. Gilbert is serving a life sentence in prison for activities in support of the Black Liberation Movement. He explains why he joined the movement, what led him to go underground, and discusses frankly the strengths and errors of the movement and Weather Underground. We Were Born to Survive (1995), dir. Paul Okojie, 29 min. A political biography of Manchester activist Kath Locke, based on an interview conducted shortly before her death in 1992.
