And it does so with performances so powerful that his is a name and a story you will never forget.

Director King makes good on his promise of telling Hampton’s story and the ideology of the BPP through a beautifully-shot tale
One of the things that ran through my mind watching the terrifically thrilling
Judas and the Black Messiah was how young some of the players are in this horrific tragedy. Fred Hampton, the chairman of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party, was only 21 when he was assassinated and Bill O’Neal, 17 when he was recruited by the FBI.
That is the age when a certain kind of person is in university, trying to change the world, rebelling without a pause against every injustice, perceived or true. The liberal thinker, who can afford to look at the world with the hope of fixing things through the prism of privilege.
Judas and the Black Messiah: Pitch Perfect Propaganda
Robert Hampton, American Renaissance, March 8, 2021
In 1969, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said, “The Black Panther Party, without question, represents the greatest threat to internal security of the country.” Today, popular media see the Black Panthers as heroes who fought “white supremacy.”
The latest example of this is the film
Judas and the Black Messiah. It’s about the Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and his relationship with federal informant William O’Neal. Hoover and the FBI considered Hampton a possible “black messiah” a charismatic leader capable of uniting black militants and the (mostly white) New Left. The “Judas” is O’Neal, a common criminal recruited by the FBI’s COINTELPRO program to infiltrate the Black Panther Party of Chicago. The information O’Neal passed on to government agents allegedly led to Hampton’s death at the hands of law enforcement in 1969.
