For Black August we’re screening Eyes of the Rainbow and giving out copies of the new edition of Freeing Assata during open hours. O.R.C.A. is open from 5pm to 9:30pm for open hours and we’ll start the film at 7:15pm.

Eyes of the Rainbow is a documentary that features an interview with Black revolutionary Assata Shakur in Cuba following her escape from prison. Assata discusses her experiences as a prisoner, her life in Cuba, and being part of the African diaspora.

Freeing Assata is a zine that tells the story of Assata Shakur’s liberation from prison by members of the Black Liberation Army. A new second edition includes a second account and is available online as a PDF here.
