Rating: 3/5 --
Combining archive footage and present-day interviews, and using music to drive the story, Nelson tells a complicated and often violent story in lithe, inventive fashion.

Independent (UK)
Nelson understands the play of outsized personalities and unexpected events, and he's helped that enough time has passed for former Panthers to feel comfortable telling their stories, especially to someone of Nelson's stature in the documentary world.
Los Angeles Times
[An] excellent new documentary....The problems of poverty, police brutality and economic plunder that gave birth to the Panthers are with us still.
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
It might have benefited from a more critical polemic (some of those Panther cats, I believe, weren't all good), but for an analysis of US racial dynamics as seen from the post #ICantBreathe era, it makes for sobering viewing.

Rating: 3/5 --
Conventional as a documentary, but speaks about much more than the just the subject at hand.

Little White Lies
Exploring activism’s role in the ’60s struggle for civil rights, this is a powerful look at a contentiously iconic movement.
Total Film
Vanguard, sadly, spends much of its time describing the boring and irrelevant power struggles between the biggest egos in the organization.
