It was a solid film. It told the story of the immigration of Latinos from the historical perspective of (the abuses of) American foreign policy. The same racial-conflict-covered-in-red-white-and-blue tone reminded me of the first set of “Eyes On The Prize.”
I first (and last) met Reggie Schell at the 2002 Black Panther Party Reunion in Washington, D.C. He was just coming into the building of the University of the District of Columbia where the event was held. I’m sure he hadn’t seen some of those people in years. But he let me, a nobody, grab him immediately and we sat in a stairwell and he let me interview him about Mumia for an hour. I never forgot that powerful act of kindness and dedication.
