Oakland, 1968: protests break out in response to the arrest of Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panthers. Agnès Varda, who was in the city at the time, came across these demonstrations and decided to film them. The result is a militant and pedagogical piece that reflects different facets of the situation whilst also capturing the energy of the encounters through the demonstrators' faces, their gestures, the songs they sing and the slogans they shout.
