Surprisingly good take for the Guardian.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall hearing the words Marx or Marxism uttered even once in the film. The Queen's Gambit had more mentions of Marxism-Leninism.

    Nice, I've been meaning to watch it so I'm glad to hear it isn't as watered down as the other film portrayals of civil rights leaders.

      I've said it before somewhere, but its honestly the best, most honest portrayal of a revolutionary I can remember.

      I have some nitpicks of the movie, but overall I loved it. Its probably more enjoyable and eye-opening for people who knew nothing of the story or were just taught that the Panthers were the black version of the KKK instead of uber-online leftists who have read books about Hampton and watched other docs about the Panthers.
