Co-director and producer Andrew Abrahams adds: "George Floyd was a tipping point, but racial profiling and excessive force against Black people by police has been a reality in the U.S. for decades. It was the fulcrum of the 1968 Huey Newton trial which our film depicts, and which the Black Panthers -- co-founded by Newton -- rallied against. The great lesson from People v. Newton is the importance of diversity among all players in the criminal justice system, including police, juries, attorneys, and judges.

Key Points: 
  • If the Newton jury came back with the widely expected first degree murder verdict against the charismatic Black militant, Newton would have faced the death penalty and national riots were anticipated.
  • ButNewton's defense team redefined a "jury of one's peers," and a groundbreaking diverse jury headed by pioneering Black foreman David Harper delivered a shocking verdict that still reverberates today.
  • "The Newton trial was monumental in the process of addressing racism in the jury selection process," said co-director Herb Ferrette.
  • It was the fulcrum of the 1968 Huey Newton trial which our film depicts, and which the Black Panthers -- co-founded by Newton -- rallied against.
