Change is coming to America. Cities are burning, Vietnam is exploding and the furious fight for equality and civil rights is awakening. In this context, a new revolutionary culture emerges: The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Drawing on a treasure trove of rare period images, this story is told by people who were there: FBI informants, journalists, white followers and detractors, former Black Panthers and people who remain loyal to the cause until today. Sundance Film Festival 2015.
