Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)
Judas and the Black Messiah is inspired by the true story of the betrayal and assassination of Fred Hampton, chairman of the Black Panther Party.
As Hampton, Daniel Kaluuya (Black Panther) won the Oscar, BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actor, while H.E.R’s Fight For You also took home an Oscar for Best Original Song. The film also picked up four more Oscar nominations.
Judas and the Black Messiah has a 96% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus says, “An electrifying dramatization of historical events, Judas and the Black Messiah is a forceful condemnation of racial injustice – and a major triumph for its director and stars.”
