About Merritt College: Home of the Black Panthers
A comprehensive and informative historical documentary that chronicles the birth of the Black Panther party during the late 1960s in Oakland. Narrated by Congresswoman Barbara Lee, this documentary provides personal accounts told through rare interviews with original, surviving party members and other key players, who were Merritt students at the time, and features original artwork and photos from the many party publications.
Directed by Jeffrey Heyman, Merritt College: Home of the Black Panthers leans on a strong ensemble — Bobby Seale, David Hilliard, Richard Aoki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2008.
