Dr. Mutulu Shakur, stepfather of Tupac Shakur, along with fellow Black Panthers and the Young Lords, combined community health with radical politics to create the first acupuncture detoxification program in America in 1973 – a visionary project eventually deemed too dangerous to exist.

Dr. Shakur was part of the Black Liberation movement of the 60’s, was a doctor of acupuncture, the Co-Founder of the Harlem Institute of Acupuncture, a target of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO), and spent over 38 years as a federal political prisoner only released in his 70s and gravely ill. Dr. Shakur was one of a few dozen Black Revolutionaries from the 60’s , 70’s and 80’s still caged as Political Prisoners.

In the US, those in power have employed vicious measures to repress, frame up, and imprison people who resist injustice – whether that be fighting police brutality or fighting for the healthcare people desperately. The film powerfully demonstrates that what is needed is mass resistance of the people and not relying on politicians and acceptable avenues of change.

Learn about Political Prisoners still locked up and fighting today. Make plans to take their stories to the people. Be part of building mass resistance.
