Donovan is a world-class storyteller, and she gives the Black Panthers and the Young Lords a human face, and shows just how strong and twisted the propaganda machine against them has always been.

Rated: 5/5

Vague Visages

Dope Is Death couldve benefitted from more cultural context and a broader examination of the Shakur family legacy, but the 78-minute film succeeds with its specific focus on holistic healing.

Dope Is Death is a vitally important documentary that is complemented by its contemporaries but stands equally well on its own.
