On October 30, 1969, Pete O'Neal, a young Black Panther in Kansas
City, Missouri, was arrested for transporting a gun across state
lines. One year later, O'Neal fled; for more than 30 years, he has
lived in Tanzania as one of the last American exiles from an era
when activists considered themselves at war with the U.S.
government. Today, this community organizer confronts very
different challenges and finds himself living between two worlds:
America and Africa, his radical past and his uncertain future.
Originally aired as part of PBS' P.O.V. series. Followed by the
short film "Kinshasa 2.0."
