“What is clear from this sober yet electrifying film is that the power of the Panthers was rooted in their insistence — radical then, radical still — that black lives matter.” A.O.Scott, NY Times
Master documentarian Stanley Nelson goes straight to the source, weaving a treasure trove of rare archival footage with the voices of people who were there: police, FBI informants, journalists, whit supporter and detractors and Black Panthers who remained loyal to the party and those who left it.
