American Revolution 2 is a 1969 documentary on the 1968 Democratic National Convention and its aftermath. Part of the film focuses on the creation of an alliance between the Young Patriots Organization and local Black Panthers. On its release Roger Ebert gave the film four stars, while New York Times reviewer Roger Greenspun was more critical. The film was released on DVD in 2007 (along with its follow-up The Murder of Fred Hampton) and received generally positive reviews.

The film was directed by Howard Alk and produced by Mike Gray. Ebert writes that the film was created as a collective effort by the Film Group, a local company that generally made commercials, and released without any individual credits. It has no narrator.

Synopsis

American Revolution 2 commence par des images des manifestations politiques à la Convention démocratique de 1968 et de la réaction énergique du service de police de Chicago et de la Garde nationale. Enquêtant sur l'absence de présence afro-américaine lors des manifestations, les cinéastes suivent les membres de la section de Chicago du Black Panther Party alors qu'ils recherchent un terrain d'entente avec une variété de groupes militants blancs. Dans une scène, Panther Bobby Lee et des membres des Young Patriots, une communauté de militants blancs des Appalaches vivant dans le quartier Uptown de Chicago, s'organisent pour protester contre la brutalité policière. Les groupes apparemment disparates trouvent des objectifs sociaux et politiques communs qui surmontent les différences raciales - violence policière, pauvreté, manque d'emploi et mauvaises conditions de vie. Ce potentiel pour un mouvement politique inter-racial et interethnique est le rêve beau mais non réalisé du film.
