In The Land Of The Free tells the shocking and unbelievable story of
Herman Wallace, Albert Woodfox and Robert King, three black men from
rural Louisiana who were held in solitary confinement in the biggest
prison in the U.S., an 18,000-acre former slave plantation known as
Angola. Woodfox and Wallace, founding members of the first prison
chapter of the Black Panther Party, worked along with King to speak out
against the inhumane treatment and racial segregation in the prison.
King was released in 2001 after almost thirty years of solitary
confinement. Woodfox and Wallace, convicted in the highly contested
stabbing death of white prison guard Brent Miller, remain in Angola
where they have spent more than thirty-six years in solitary
confinement. Made aware of their plight, Congressman John Conyers,
Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, visited Wallace and Woodfox
in prison in March 2008. This documentary tells the ongoing story of
the case of these three extraordinary men.
