It seems so extremely long ago since there

It seems so extremely long ago since there was a revolutionary US movement to the left. The member maybe most known over the world was Angela Davis, communist, for a short while philosophy teacher at UCLA and charged for murder, kidnapping and conspiracy. This documentary is like a thriller. Davis returns from philosophy studies in Germany, is fired from UCLA by its board there Governor Ronald Reagan is a member, dedicates herself to prisoners' rights, falls in love with one of them. Than comes the disaster. That prisoner is involved in a court drama, there a judge is murdered and jury members injured and some of the guns are owned by Davis. The reasons for her buying guns are the threats she has received and she showed her ID when buying them. That's the main point for the defence. Davis, the university philosophy teacher is by definition not stupid. She wouldn't get the guns that way if she was part of a terrorist conspiration. Well-made movie about what can absolutely not be called present history. Although it was only 40 years ago.
