The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

   Framed: The Story of Geronimo Pratt
   (Dennis Mueller and Masimo Pillow, 1993)

   Short film that does a great job showing FBI repression of the Black
   Panther Party and Pratt's frame-up in the particular case of the
   California Panthers. Unfortunately, it doesn't give enough information
   on the true political potential of the BPP, instead focusing on
   their struggles over the right to bear arms. That misleads viewers
   into thinking the U.$. saw the BPP principally as a military threat,
   which is not true. The government cared so much about the BPP because
   of their power and dedication to organize the Black community, and
   especially the Survival Programs, which were used to educate the
   people as well as supply their immediate needs.
