Third World Newsreel (TWN) licenses archival stock footage to producers, media companies and other institutions, including footage of the leadership of the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords Party, the Anti-Vietnam War Movement, the Student Movement, the Housing Movement, Women’s Liberation Movement, and other social justice movements from the late 60s and early 70s. These are primary sources. The footage was shot by filmmakers who were participants in the movements they documented — not observers. Much of this material exists nowhere else.
