Daniel Kaluuya may have won an Oscar for Judas and the Black Messiah, but it feels even timelier now than when it came out as protests rage across the country.

Search warrant applications reveal that the oily GOP consultant may have had advance knowledge about a Russian hacking plot.

Judas and the Black Messiah is based on the true story of FBI informant William O’Neal and his role in the 1969 killing of Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party. It took years for the facts around Hampton’s killing to become public, thanks to a vigorous government effort to cover them up. While the movie, directed by Shaka King from a screenplay he wrote with Will Berson, stays relatively faithful to history, it does take some liberties with the historical record—including by filling in some of its blanks. Here’s what’s real and what’s invented.

"Judas and The Black Messiah" is a movie that needs to be experienced to truly comprehend the gravitas behind the material and it could not come at a better time.
