Universes looks at The Black Panther/Young Lords movements of the late 60’s and 70’s, capturing that moment when the “everyday man/everyday woman” decided that the struggles of their communities were worth dying for. At what point will the powder keg explode in this politically charged nation? After the cameras leave, and we’re onto the next sensational media story, what becomes of those who “moved” to make change? What of those left with the stories to tell? What of those who witnessed their own rise and fall? What of those who never rose? And what of those who fell too hard?
