The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

70%(68)IMDbDocumentary

The story of the Black Panthers is often told in a scatter of repackaged parts, often depicting tragic, mythic accounts of violence and criminal activity; but this is an essential story, vibrant, human; a living and breathing chronicle of a pivotal movement that birthed a new revolutionary culture in America.
