“The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution is the first feature-length documentary to explore the Black Panther Party, its significance to the broader American culture, its cultural and political awakening for black people, and the painful lessons wrought when a movement derails.” (www.pbs.org)
“The Black Panthers” is both a case study in effective political repression — through violence, subterfuge and the courts — and an object lesson in the vulnerability of political resistance.”
(A.O. Scott, “The New York Time”)
