Global VoicesSeason 1, Episode 23 of 26 : A Panther In Africa/Kinshasa 2.0
On October 30, 1969, Pete O'Neal, a young Black Panther in Kansas City, MO, 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. In "Kinshasa 2.0," an Internet campaign helps in the release of a presidential candidate jailed for talking openly about the lack of democracy. Moving between a militarized Kinshasa and Second Life (a 3D virtual chat program), the power of the Internet for democracy is explored.
