Mario Van Peebles based this study of the controversial African-American political group on the book by his father, writer, director and actor Melvin Van Peebles. The story focuses on Judge, a moderate Black who's outraged at the injustices against his community that he's witnessed. But when he joins the Black Panthers in frustration, the FBI recognizes Judge's innate distaste for violence and targets him as a likely mole. Caught in the middle, Judge bears witness to the excesses of both sides -- the radical left and the reactionary right. [More]

In his fictionalized story, Van Peebles simplifies the history of the Black Panthers, doing harm to a subject that he presumably intends to honor. Panther suffers from the same narrative and stylistic problems that has plagued his earlier films.

Doesn't really shed much light on the movement.
