Panther

This semi-historical dramatization of the Black Panthers’ origin story is a furious film whose desire is to engross a new generation with the history–neighborhood protection to public enemy number one– that shapes theirs. Written by Melvin Van Peebles and directed by the younger Van Peebles, this collaboration of senses, history, and generations stars Kadeem Hardison, Jenifer Lewis, Courtney B. Vance, Roger Guenveur Smith, and Bookem Woodbine.
