Huey: The Final Chapter is a powerful hybrid feature film that explores the final days of Dr. Huey P. Newton - revolutionary co-founder of the Black Panther Party - and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. The first 60 minutes unfold as a documentary, drawing from rare archival footage. Through this layered investigation, the film retraces Newton's evolution from a fearless activist to a man haunted by surveillance, internal conflict, and media distortion. As the documentary builds toward the night of August 22, 1989 - when Newton was gunned down in West Oakland - it transitions seamlessly into a gripping 30-minute scripted dramatization of his final hours. This narrative sequence humanizes Huey as he confronts betrayal, memory, and mortality in a city that once saw him as both a savior and a threat. More than a portrait of a man, Huey: The Final Chapter is a timely reckoning with how America remembers its revolutionaries - and what gets left out of the official record. —BroKen Productions, Inc
