Original Angela Davis Movie Posters

Angela Davis movie posters span documentary and dramatic treatments of one of the most significant figures in American civil rights and radical politics — original theatrical paper from films charting her activism, her 1970 arrest, and her ongoing cultural legacy. Davis rose to national prominence in 1970 when she was placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list; her subsequent arrest, imprisonment, and acquittal in 1972 became one of the defining legal and political events of the era. Shop original materials from productions documenting this remarkable history. Shola Lynch's documentary Free Angela and All Political Prisoners (2012) brought Davis's story to a new generation, tracing the events of 1970–1972 with archival footage and interviews. The film presented Davis as a symbol of a broader struggle that galvanised international support during one of the most turbulent periods of American political life. Earlier documentary treatments of her case also generated promotional materials that now carry considerable historical weight. Promotional materials for documentary films addressing the political history of the civil rights and Black Power movements represent a growing area of collector interest.
