Oh, I just noticed this letter. And it kinda confirms what I suspected, which is that different people have different perspectives of the Black Panthers. There's how the public perceived them, how the members perceived themselves and how ex-members viewed the organization they dropped out of. There won't be a lot of objectivity here. Of course, his heirs want to preserve Huey Newton's legacy, so they wouldn't be amenable to a movie that might possibly show him. - warts and all. However, I can't imagine a movie about this group that didn't consult Bobby Seale, one of the black Panther founders! And, I'm sure Huey's family can't be that satisfied with what Kathleen Cleaver might have to contribute, because after she and Eldridge split up, she exposed the abusive, misogynistic behavior the Panthers engaged in. I am certainly looking forward to this film.
