Subject: A PANTHER IN AFRICA - Documentary to air on PBS
This might be my next career move.....I heard excerpts of this on WBAi
this
morning. Very interesting in many ways. Especially about how and why
this
couple wound up in Tanzania. Cointelpro was alive well into the
90s......
> "A PANTHER IN AFRICA" is a new documentary, by Aaron Matthews, about
> Pete and Charlotte O'Neal's work in Tanzania which P.O.V. (Point of
> View) will broadcast nationally on PBS.
> http://www.pbs.org/pov/pov2004/apantherinafrica/index.html
>
> BROADCAST DATE:
> September 21, 2004 at 10 PM (90 minutes)
> (NOTE: Days and times for P.O.V. broadcasts vary, so be sure to check
> local listings for your PBS station.)
>
> ABOUT THE FILM:
>
> On October 30, 1969, the leader of the Kansas City chapter of the
> Black Panther Party was arrested and charged with transporting a gun
> across state lines. His name was Pete O'Neal. After being
> convicted on false testimony, Pete recognized his four year sentence
> would probably lead to his death behind bars, and he and Charlotte
> decided to leave the United States clandestinely.
>
> Having lived over thirty years in Tanzania, Pete and Charlotte
> O'Neal have transplanted their ideals to the village of Imbaseni,
> where they founded the United African Alliance Community Center. Its
> programs, classes, and contribution to the surrounding area have
> drawn the attention of scholars, activists, journalists and
> filmmakers.
>
> Aaron Mathews, an award winning documentary film producer, explained
> his new film this way:
>
> "A Panther in Africa started with the questions: What happened to the
> radicals from the 1960s? Where are they now? And what happened to
> the ideals of that era? Traveling through East Africa in 1998, I met
> Pete O'Neal, who embodied the answers I was looking for in many
> ways. I was captivated by Pete's predicament, as a man who seemed to
> be living in a vacuum, the only America he knew was that America of
> the 1960s.
>
> His life in exile had preserved and refined values that other
> 1960s radicals seemed to have left behind. I made this film in large
> part because Pete's life, both past and present, revealed a lot
> about America's past and present. But it was Pete, the character
> that drew me to the subject. He's an amazing person.
>
> Making the film has also renewed my appreciation for political
> activism and dissent. It's made me realize that some things are worth
> fighting for. As Black Panthers, Pete, and his wife Charlotte had
> the courage to risk jail time as well as life and limb to stand up
> for what they believed in. Whatever you think of the Panthers, you
> have to acknowledge that some of their major accomplishments -
> raising concern about significant issues of social justice,
> dramatically changing the way many African Americans saw themselves
> - were achieved by taking great risk. Today, through his United
> African Alliance Community Center, Pete believes he and Charlotte are
> carrying on the legacy and principles of the Black Panther Party."
>
