Looks kinda good honestly. I wonder if the words "socialist" or "marxist" or "communist" will make an appearance.

      Hmm, doesn't look good, in that regard. Here's what the writer/director said about the movie:

      King wanted Hampton Jr on set every day to ensure they were doing his father’s and the Black Panthers’ legacy justice while also wanting to create a film that would have the audience question their position on “the capitalist, cowardly” O’Neal, and the “socialist, revolutionary” Hampton.

      “We can attach judgment to both of those ideologies, but I think most people kind of actually fall somewhere in between,” the writer-director said. “You want to make a movie where the audience watches it and comes away questioning, ‘Which ancestor am I?’”
