Codeblack acquired theatrical rights in early 2013 to a documentary “Free Angela and All Political Prisoners” and partnered with BET Networks for a theatrical release.
The documentary centres on Davis being implicated in murder, kidnapping and conspiracy in connection with the Marin County Courthouse hostage-taking in 1970. She was acquitted two years later.
