00:00:03.220 --> 00:00:07.815
Can Judas and the Black Messiah teach teens
about the civil rights era?

00:00:09.246 --> 00:00:11.116
"I am..."

00:00:11.116 --> 00:00:13.021
"A revolutionary!"

00:00:13.021 --> 00:00:14.657
"I am..."

00:00:14.657 --> 00:00:16.042
"A revolutionary!"

00:00:16.042 --> 00:00:17.360
Most definitely.

00:00:17.360 --> 00:00:22.210
This informative and powerful drama tells
the true story of an FBI informant

00:00:22.210 --> 00:00:25.364
who joins Fred Hampton's Black Panther Party
in Chicago.

00:00:25.364 --> 00:00:30.719
"The Black Panther's are forming a rainbow coalition of oppressed brothers and sisters of every color."

00:00:31.579 --> 00:00:36.540
Along with heavy themes of social inequality,
the movie delivers some intense violence.

00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:42.300
Expect shoot-outs, police brutality, torture,
and more than a few deaths.

00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:48.940
There's also lots of strong language, including
both racist slurs and all kinds of four-letter words.

00:00:48.940 --> 00:00:54.070
Despite the mature content, the story shows
the power of teamwork in creating social change

00:00:54.070 --> 00:00:58.251
and can spark important conversations about
the civil rights movement.

00:00:59.279 --> 00:01:01.911
"Anywhere there is people, is power."

00:01:02.727 --> 00:01:07.970
Common Sense says Judas and the Black Messiah
is OK for teens 15 and up.

00:01:07.970 --> 00:01:13.356
