Director Stanley Nelson masterfully assembles rare archival footage that contextualizes the history of the Panthers \u2013 begun in response to racism and police brutality in Oakland, California. Surviving members of the organization are interviewed alongside retired police officers, FBI informants, journalists, and others \u2013 all of whom reflect back in detail on the events that defined the Panthers\u2019 turbulent late \u201860s era.<\/p>\n

THE BLACK PANTHERS does not hesitate to critique its subject, nor does it shy away from judging the corrupt activities of J. Edgar Hoover\u2019s FBI or the countless shoot-outs, raids and arrests that were the response of local police. It is a vibrant chronicle of a pivotal movement and a history that needs to be told to understand today\u2019s still incendiary racial landscape.<\/p>\n
