Of his role in the award-winning film, ‘Judas And the Black Messiah’, Daniel Kaluuya said, "I gave everything. The great Nipsey Hussle says, 'We are here to give until we are empty.' I couldn't give it to a more noble man - that's chairman Fred Hampton - and I hope generations after this can see how brilliantly he fought, how brilliantly he spoke and how brilliantly he loved. He taught me about myself, made me grow as a man and I appreciate it with all my heart."

‘Judas And The Black Messiah’ co-stars Lakeith Stanfield as the FBI informant William O'Neal who infiltrated the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party in the 1960s and collaborated in the assassination of activist Fred Hampton.
