Stanley Nelson, the award-winning chronicler of African American life, history and social movements, shines a light on the iconic Black Panther Party (BPP), charting its meteoric rise in the 1960s and its disintegration several years later. Fed up with racial discrimination, poverty and police brutality, urban Black youth in Oakland, CA, were ready for radical change.
Timely due to the national police violence events. Will there be a resurgence of the BPP?
Controversial end of film in which Nelson the director painted a picture of Huey Newton
as a crazy man. It angered the Black Panthers in attendance
