Portrait intime d'une icône politique, militante révolutionnaire noire, symbole de la lutte anticapitaliste dans l'Amérique des années 1970. Angela Davis est aujourd'hui professeur de philosophie à l'université de Californie de Santa Cruz et milite toujours activement pour réformer le système judiciaire américain. Quarante ans après avoir été inculpée par le FBI puis acquittée pour un complot visant à libérer des prisonniers politiques noirs, elle revient sur les événements qui lui ont valu une notoriété politique internationale.

Based on the best selling autobiography by Irish expat Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes follows the experiences of young Frankie and his family as they try against all odds to escape the poverty endemic in the slums of pre-war Limerick. The film opens with the family in Brooklyn, but following the death of one of Frankie's siblings, they return home, only to find the situation there even worse. Prejudice against Frankie's Northern Irish father makes his search for employment in the Republic difficult despite his having fought for the IRA, and when he does find money, he spends the money on drink.
