The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution

In the turbulent 1960s, a revolutionary culture emerged with the Black Panther Party at its forefront. Through interviews with police informants, journalists, supporters, and detractors, as well as rare archival footage, Stanley Nelson tells the vibrant story of a pivotal movement that feels timely all over again. From its origins in Oakland, California, to its growth and rise in popularity, the Black Panther Party was a symbol of resistance and empowerment for African Americans. But as the party's influence grew, so did the backlash - from the FBI's relentless pursuit to discredit and dismantle the organization, to violent confrontations with law enforcement. The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution is a powerful and essential documentary that sheds light on a critical moment in American history.
