This time we'll be watching a film together, so no need to read anything in advance! The film is about Assata Shakur and is around 45 minutes long.

Here's a little bit about Assata, you can find out more on her website www.assatashakur.org

'On May 2 1973, Black Panther activist Assata Shakur (fsn) JoAnne Chesimard, was pulled over by the New Jersey State Police, shot twice and then charged with murder of a police officer. Assata spent six and a half years in prison under brutal circumstances before escaping out of the maximum security wing of the Clinton Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey in 1979 and moving to Cuba.'

We'll be at the 1in12 from 6pm, but will probably start to watch the film at 6.30pm.
After we've watched the film we'll talk about it and use it as a starting point for our discussion.
