A free drive-in movie event – “Judas and the Black Messiah” – will take place at Liberation Park in Oakland at 5:00 p.m. The Dr. Huey P Newton Foundation and the Judas and the Black Messiah impact campaign have partnered in honor of Black History Month to screen Shaka King's groundbreaking film, starring Daniel Kaluuya as the inspiring Chicago Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton, opposite LaKeith Stanfield and Dominique Fishback, that tells the story of the organized effort by the FBI to silence Hampton in 1969. The film, in theaters and on HBO Max on February 12, was produced by Oakland native Ryan Coogler, Charles D. King and Shaka King. The event is sponsored by East Oakland Collective, Ground + Soul, San Francisco Film Festival and Black Terminus AR.
