Synopsis
The 1960s saw the rise of the Black Panther Party, a political organization of young, like-minded Black men and women who sought to end the struggles and oppression of Black people across America and beyond. This film tells the incredible true story of a young criminal, William O’Neal, who after being arrested by the FBI, is coerced into infiltrating the Black Panthers and relaying information back to the American government. After befriending the leader of the Illinois chapter, the inspiring Fred Hampton, he begins to question where his loyalties really lie. This sophomore film from filmmaker Shaka King is a sharply made historical drama that explores Black history in America without forgetting the humanity at the very centre of the story.
