Where to watch Judas and the Black Messiah in the UK?
Judas and the Black Messiah is one of the most important films to have been released recently, with Daniel Kaluuya starring as assassinated the Black Panthers chairman Fred Hampton.
While many have heard of the sad tale, the 21-year-old’s story isn’t been as well-known as the likes of Malcolm X – but all that is set to change following the release of Judas and the Black Messiah.
Queen & Slim actor Daniel Kaluuya stars as Illinois Black Panther Party leader Hampton, while his Get Out co-star LaKeith Stanfield plays Bill O’Neal as we are taken on the journey which saw the ‘rat’ infiltrate the activist party after being recruited by agent Roy Mitchell (Jesse Plemons).
The film is one of many projects that have tried to capture part of Hampton’s life – the most recent being Aaron Sorkin’s Netflix movie, The Trial of the Chicago 7.
However, Judas and the Black Messiah offers a new and unique look at the heartbreaking story, and Hampton’s legacy.
