Looks like two of my personal faves are linking up again..this time to collab on a documentary for Black Power leader Angela Davis. Check it out.
Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment and Jay-Z's Roc Nation are partnering to support the release of Free Angela & All Political Prisoners, a documentary directed by Shola Lynch. According to deadline, the doc will be shown at the Toronto Film Festival.
The documentary follows Davis' well documented 1970s case and acquittal. An activist and scholar, Davis was barred from teaching at UCLA, and was later accused of being involved in a courtroom shooting in Marin County, CA., for which she was later acquitted.
“We at Overbrook Entertainment are very proud to support this intriguing documentary about the life of Angela Davis. Filmmaker, Shola Lynch has done an incredible job in revealing a piece of American history we thought we all knew,” Jada Pinkett Smith explained in a press release.
"Shola Lynch has crafted an intricate and compelling film about Angela Davis," Jay-Z shared. "Roc Nation is honored to be a part of a creative collective that can present such a riveting story."
