The first feature-length documentary about the revolutionary Black Panther Party is an intensely compelling survey of the militantly radical, historically significant, often controversial group. Charting the Party's seismic influence on the counter-cultural landscape of the sixties and seventies, the organizational and political struggles within the movement, and the impact of the Black Panthers' presence on the country's attitudes and discussions of race relations, acclaimed documentarian Stanley Nelson (Freedom Riders; Jonestown: The Life & Death of Peoples Temple) has crafted an important social and historical document with deeply trenchant relevance to a host of issues still facing us today.
