Police and Panthers
Wilfred Frost rediscovers his father David Frost's interviews with Reverend Jesse Jackson and Huey P. Newton, leader of the Black Panthers.
As tensions boil between black communities and the police in 1960s America, David Frost interviews key people making the headlines: Reverend Jesse Jackson and Huey P. Newton, leader of the Black Panthers.
The conversations cover everything from police brutality to political assassinations, ending with a fiery debate between Charles Barry (lawyer for the Black Panthers) and Edward J. Epstein (journalist for The New Yorker) over whether the FBI and police are actively targeting black activists.
Fifty years ago, television host David Frost interviewed the most influential thinkers, politicians, activists, and cultural icons of their time. Many of these tapes have been lost for a generation. Until now. Presented by David鈥檚 son, Wilfred Frost.
