More than four decades after the Black Panther Party was launched in Oakland, CA, the movement and its top leaders remain a vivid memory today for people who lived during the group’s activities during the ‘60s and ‘70s. The documentary THE BLACK PANTHERS: VANGUARD OF THE REVOLUTION weaves the voices of many diverse individuals who dealt with the group - including police, FBI informants, journalists, white supporters, and detractors – as well as followers who remained loyal to the party and others who left. The doc’s director Stanley Nelson and former Black Panther leader Kathleen Neal Cleaver sit down with Ondi Timoner to discuss the film during this special Sundance episode of BYOD.
