My gf has the correct political vibes so to speak, but no theoretical basis or knowledge of history. However, she is interested in watching documentaries on the subject, so which are the ones you found most valuable? Thanks in advance

Wasn't there one on the Black Panthers that covered the assassination of Fred Hampton by the FBI? I'm trying to reach back in my memory but can't remember it. Anyway I think that one helped me on the road a bit.

I haven't seen a documentary about that, but the movie Judas and the Black Messiah is about the Panthers and Hampton's assassination. I don't know how accurate it really is because I still don't know much about the Panthers, but I did like the movie itself a lot. It manages to not only show the Panthers in a very good light, but also shows how reactionary the US can be against those that truly fight capitalism.
