Fred Hampton, left, and Daniel Kaluuya as Fred Hampton in "Judas and the Black Messiah"
The young freedom fighters of the Black Panther Party, as brilliantly portrayed in the film
Judas and the Black Messiah, were most certainly “uncompromising,” as described in Brian W. Major’s recent
People’s World review. The recently released film, directed by Shaka King and starring Daniel Kaluuya, LaKeith Stanfiel, Dominique Fishback, and Martin Sheen, unfolds a story of FBI and Chicago Police Department conspiracy both bitter and telling, with profound lessons for today’s movements. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in the Black Liberation movement of the 1960s in general, and the Black Panther Party in particular, with stellar performances to boot.
