On this episode of Kickin' & Streamin' Podcast Graham & Jocelyn discuss the movie Judas & The Black Messiah starring Daniel Kaluuya, Lakeith Stanfield, Dominique Fishback and a cast of supporting actors under the direction of Shaka King. Graham begins by explaining why the film isn't necessarily a biopic of Fred Hampton's life, but rather the circumstances leading to his assassination. Jocelyn provided a synopsis of the film and began to discuss the movie with Graham. Graham pointed out the parallels between Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus as a disillusioned disciple who expected Jesus to be political revolutionary as opposed to the pacifist "fisher of men" he claimed to be; whereas William O'Neal, the character referred to as Judas in this movie, is a criminal cornered and coerced by the FBI to infiltrate the Black Panther Party in exchange for dismissal of his criminal charges. Jocelyn referred to and recommended an article by the The Smithsonian Magazine where a detailed account of the real life story of Fred Hampton and William O'Neal is chronicled.
