Quand, en 1966, à Oakland en Californie, Bobby Seale et Huey Newton fondent les Black Panthers, il s'agit pour eux de créer un groupe de défense des droits des Noirs, très discriminés dans cet Etat et en butte aux violences policières. Des militants de la première heure racontent les débuts du groupe, ses actions, ses coups d'éclat, comme l'irruption au parlement de Californie d'une trentaine de Black Panthers armés. Le courage et le culot dont ses membres font preuve assurent la renommée du parti et attirent de nombreux adhérents. Dès lors, la croissance est rapide. Au moment où le mouvement cherche à s'ancrer davantage dans la communauté noire, Edgar Hoover, le patron du FBI, prend le parti pour cible.

L’Hakoah (« La force » en hébreu), fut fondé à Vienne en 1909, par réaction au célèbre paragraphe aryen qui interdisait aux clubs de sport autrichiens d’intégrer des athlètes juifs et devint l’un des plus grands clubs de sport de l’Europe de l’entre deux guerres. Dans les années 30, les plus grands succès de l’Hakoah furent remportés par ses nageuses, qui dominaient la compétition nationale en Autriche. Après l’Anschluss, les Nazis ont fait fermer le club. Les nageuses réussirent à fuir le pays avant que la guerre n’éclate, grâce à une opération de sauvetage organisée par les sportifs de l’Hakoah. 65 ans plus tard, 7 membres de l’équipe féminine de natation se retrouvent dans leur ancienne piscine à Vienne, un voyage qui évoque à la fois les souvenirs de leurs jeunes années, leur féminité affirmer et qui leur permet de renouer les liens de toute une vie.
