TRAILER

The Big Cigaris a Hollywood portrayal of the iconic Black Panther Party leader, Huey P. Newton. While we’re familiar with his militant strategies and role in protecting and guiding the black community during a tumultuous period in America, the series sheds light on Hollywood’s significant involvement in his protection. Uncover the 70s vibe, energy, and even some humor in this show, which surprisingly reveals Hollywood’s support for Newton’s quest for African American freedom and rights.
