Circle Cinema is proud to bring this modern classic back to the big screen, as the Oklahoma premiere was held at Circle during the 2021 Sundance Film Festival. The film was a critical and commercial success on release, winning Oscars for Best Supporting Actor (Daniel Kaluuya) and Best Original Song alongside four other nominations including Best Picture. Based on a true story.
FBI informant William O'Neal (LaKeith Stanfield) infiltrates the Illinois Black Panther Party and is tasked with keeping tabs on their charismatic leader, Chairman Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya). A career thief, O'Neal revels in the danger of manipulating both his comrades and his handler, Special Agent Roy Mitchell (Jesse Plemons). Hampton's political prowess grows just as he's falling in love with fellow revolutionary Deborah Johnson (Dominique Fishback). Meanwhile, a battle wages for O'Neal's soul. Will he align with the forces of good? Or subdue Hampton and The Panthers by any means, as FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover commands?
