Black Panthers

2020 · 1 season

A sober, archival-rich history lesson that moves deliberately, letting testimony and footage build a portrait of defiance and government pressure.

Overview
Criticized, admired and feared: The Black Panther Party, founded in California in 1967, declared violent wars against racism and oppression. The two-part documentary looks behind the scenes of the legendary group, which emerged as a mouthpiece for African Americans during a time of social upheaval and soon attracted worldwide attention, but also the resentment of the government.
