Judas and the Black Messiah

Growing up in the 1980's and 1990's and thoroughly immersed in the body of work flowing from the politically and socially critical hip hop and rap genre I was aware of the historical importance of Black Panther Party Movement.

Some will find it unsettling, some will feel rage and cry at the twists and turns in the narrative, that is surely the sign of a movie worth watching. I am sure Judas and The Black Messiah will rightfully join the pantheon alongside Malcom X, Cry Freedom and Black K Klansman.
