Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Murder of Fred Hampton is a 1971 documentary film directed by Howard Alk.It is about, yes, the murder of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton on December 4, 1969. Production on the film actually began as a documentary on Hampton before Hampton's death, and showed Hampton giving fiery speeches, advocating for the release of Bobby Seale from jail, working in his community in Chicago (the Black Panthers set up food banks and free medical clinics), meeting with leaders of other black activist groups, and fighting bogus charges of assaulting an ice cream vendor.All of that leads to Hampton being shot to death at the age of 21, in his apartment in the small hours of the morning, by Chicago police. The police, backed by Cook County State's Attorney Edward Hanrahan, state that they came to Hampton's apartment after getting a report of a cache of illegal weapons, and returned fire only after being greeted by a hail of bullets from the Black Panthers. However, the Chicago PD fails to secure the scene, allowing the makers of this film as well as members of the Panthers to gain access to Hampton's bullet-riddled, blood-spattered apartment. The filmmakers and the Panthers are able to examine the scene themselves and document evidence as well as talk to survivors from the shootout, and it soon becomes clear that the cops were the only ones shooting, that they came for the purpose of murder, and that Fred Hampton was shot as he slept on his bed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also Judas and the Black Messiah, a 2021 dramatic film about these same events. | |

| The Murder of Fred Hampton / int_4ef62a4d | comment |
Full-Circle Revolution: Discussed by Fred Hampton himself, who says the Panthers are not against white people per se but capitalists oppressors of all stripes. He specifically cites "Papa Doc" Duvalier, the president of Haiti, who started out as a crusading black nationalist but became a brutal dictator. | |

Deliberately Monochrome: Filmed entirely in black and white, including news reports that by the 1970-71 time frame would have been in color, for that gritty subversive documentary look. | |

Dramatic Gun Cock: There's a closeup of a Panther working the bolt on a rifle to chamber a round. (The Panthers are arming themselves as they've gotten word of an imminent police raid.) | |
