FORMERLY KNOWN AS GERONIMO PRATT, FRAMED BY THE FBI AND KEPT IN PRISON FOR 27 YEARS

This man is an authentic war hero who fought behind enemy lines in Vietnam. When he returned to the USA he became associated with the Black Panther Party. He was framed for murder partly through the false testimony of an FBI informer. The FBI knew he was innocent all the time but kept that a secret. When they were forced to divulge what they knew it was only because a former FBI agent who was watching him in San Francisco at the time of the LA murder finally told the truth. Even with that stunning testimony on record it took the American Legal system 11 years to finally release him.

 

The fellow in the background is a sound recordist who was working on a documentary featuring Pratt.
