Based on True Events, Judas And The Black Messiah follows the story of FBI infiltrating a man in the Black Panther Army against the backdrop of racism based on Colour. It was only recently that we witnessed a huge movement which soon turned out to be a global one, ‘Black Lives Matter’. It is not wrong to say that history indeed repeats itself. This is because humanity does not learn from its mistakes. It is so wrong if a person has to feel inferior just because of his skin colour. Why can’t we see each other as equal irrespective of caste, creed, colour or sex. And this is the very reason that the story is powerful and relevant even today. The screenplay unfolds at a leisurely pace. It doesn’t hurry, instead it allows you to settle into the drama that is simmering on low heat throughout. And because of this, you as a viewer are conflicted on what is right and what is wrong which means the narrative is balanced. You feel sorry for both the protagonists at any given point of time. This simmering tension culminates into a shocking finale that will leave you angry! The screenplay is quietly hard-hitting and punches you exactly where it hurts the most! Excellent writing!
