Afeni Shakur

Afeni Shakur wants to create a revolution in America. She defends herself at her trial in 1970 – and exposes an extraordinary plot by the FBI to infiltrate the Black Panthers and help plan potential bombings in New York.

Her son Tupac wants to recreate the politics of the Black Panthers – but through self-expression. He then finds himself trapped in the sealed world of modern culture. A world where you can act out being a radical, but outside nothing changes. Self-expression makes you feel powerful – but in reality you are alone – and the power of collective action disappears.
