Audience Reviews for The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution

  • Oct 10, 2015
    Nelson's historical account of the Panthers is really well put together. I had actually always wondered about the demise of the main Panther movement and a lot of questions were answered in this film. Well done.
