Synopsis

Quand, en 1966, à Oakland en Californie, Bobby Seale et Huey Newton fondent les Black Panthers, il s'agit pour eux de créer un groupe de défense des droits des Noirs, très discriminés dans cet Etat et en butte aux violences policières. Des militants de la première heure racontent les débuts du groupe, ses actions, ses coups d'éclat, comme l'irruption au parlement de Californie d'une trentaine de Black Panthers armés. Le courage et le culot dont ses membres font preuve assurent la renommée du parti et attirent de nombreux adhérents. Dès lors, la croissance est rapide. Au moment où le mouvement cherche à s'ancrer davantage dans la communauté noire, Edgar Hoover, le patron du FBI, prend le parti pour cible.

Ce documentaire tente de décrypter les commentaires tenus sur le conflit israélo-palestinien et de répondre aux questions suivantes : comment parle-t-on du conflit au Proche Orient ? Comment parle-t-on de ses protagonistes ? Pourquoi ces troubles font-ils l'objet de passions aussi fortes ? Quelle est la mécanique des médias qui instruisent l'opinion ?
