Judas and the Black Messiah
In Judas & the Black Messiah or How I Became a Snitch for the FBI, LaKeith Stanfield & Daniel Kaluuya are excellent in their portrayals of Bill O’Neal (coerced informant) & Fred Hampton (charismatic Black Panther leader). This is a powerful film depicting civil unrest in 1968 Chicago as told thru the Black perspective. Martin Sheen has a small role as J. Edgar Hoover. Documentary footage & character summaries of these real life people appear at the end of the film.
Alien gives it 3½ “I️ am a revolutionary” stars out of 4.
