Yes, the filmmaker Tigre Hill, although obviously self hating, is black, as well as Philadelphia's District Attorney Seth Williams. The two were debating Professor and Filmmaker Dr. Johanna Fernández and Criminal Defense Attorney and Activist Michael Coard. If this debate was a football game it would have been 100-0. Dr. Fernández and Attorney Coard time and time again brought up pertinent facts that were subsequently ignored by Williams and Hill. Not only did filmmaker Tigre Hill at one point walk off the stage, but the debate ended with him receiving a Cease and Desist order because he used parts of another film on police brutality in Philadelphia without getting the proper clearances.
All in all, the night was a complete failure for Tigre Hill and even a film critic who thinks Mumia is guilty called his "documentary" "DEEPLY, VISCERALLY BAD". But, don't take my word for it, watch the video for yourself. The footage also contains an interview with Attorney Coard, as well as, Tigre Hill's reaction to "getting served".
