Judas And The Black Messiah - 2021 - 8/10

Outstanding study of the snitch within the Black Panther chapter of Chicago.
Time frame = circa 1966 - 1969.
Low end thief is recruited (pressured) by the FBI to infiltrate the Panthers and report back.
An uneasy film to view, watching law enforcement repeatedly sidestep or violate laws.
The narrative strikes me as accurate. Years earlier, I had viewed Black Panthers: Vanguard Of The Revolution (2015), as well as Eyes On The Prize (1990).
Fred Hampton, the target of the FBI, was viewed by them as extraordinarily dangerous.
His message of resisting oppression resonated in 60’s Chicago. Not only with blacks, but Puerto Ricans and poor whites from Appalachia. Class struggle knew no race. Overlords have since wised up, in my opinion.
