Judas and the Black Messiah
You can kill a revolutionary but you can't kill the revolution.
Directed by Shaka King
Produced by MACRO, Bron Studios
A tense, morally complex historical drama about infiltration and betrayal within the Black Panther Party, grounded in real events and driven by the internal conflict of a man caught between two worlds.
Bill O'Neal infiltrates the Black Panthers on the orders of FBI Agent Mitchell and J. Edgar Hoover. As Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton ascends—falling for a fellow revolutionary en route—a battle wages for O’Neal’s soul.
