Film: Legacy of Torture: The War Against the Black Liberation Movement Friday, January 11, 8:30pm Legacy of Torture: The War Against the Black Liberation Movement Dir. Andres AlegrÃa, Claude Marks and the Freedom Archives, 2007 In person: Hank Jones, Ray Boudreaux, and Richard Brown of SF8; attorney John Philipsborn; and activist/actor Danny Glover. Moderated by Sam Durant. Synopsis: Legacy of Torture chronicles a case that began in 1971 when thirteen alleged "Black militants" were arrested and tortured to obtain confessions. In 1975, a Federal Court in San Francisco threw out all of the evidence obtained in New Orleans. 34 years later, in 2005, two lead San Francisco Police Department investigators from over 30 years ago, along with FBI agents, have re-opened the case. Rather than submit to proceedings they felt were abusive of the law and the Constitution, five men chose to stand in contempt of court and were sent to jail. They were released when the Grand Jury term expired, but have been told by prosecutors that "it isn't over yet."
