In the turbulent 1960s, issues such as poverty, social unrest and police brutality were common.

While the Civil Rights era ushered in the philosophy of non-violence and peaceful demonstrations, it also was a time for another movement: The Black Panther Party.

Stanley Nelson's new film, "The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution", captures that period in history.

Stanley Nelson will host a screening of the film at the Los Angeles Nuart theatre, on Friday, Sept. 25, at 1:30 p.m.
