    I watched the movie Panther, directed by Mario Van Peebles. It was an excellent portrayal of BPP history. Next on my list is A Huey Newton Story.

    Cool, I have not seen that yet.

    A Huey P Newton Story is a great film, but not at all what I expected. The main character is the Huey Newton after his prime, when the party was no longer a revolutionary force and he had descended into lumpen tragedy. The tragedy of Huey P Newton is something that really saddens me. The acting is pretty good in this film.

    Both are on Youtube in parts last time I looked.

    Watched Panther a few days ago, it was awesome and really brings out the inspirational side of things, aswell as not shying away from the problems within the party like the ultraviolent tendency and the drug dealing etc. Really liked it

    Roger Guenveur Smith was actually really good as Newton -- quite believable, actually, for the time period he was doing. Smith was in both Panther and Story, and was excellent in both.
