Aramide Tinubu While much attention is paid to the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Panther Party hasn’t been as closely examined in popular culture. Apple TV+‘s “The Big Cigar” is adapted from Joshuah Bearman’s 2012 article of the same name. (Bearman also penned the 2007 article that Ben Affleck’s 2012 film, “Argo” was based on.) The series revolves around Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P.
Newton’s (a precisely calibrated André Holland) 1974 escape to Cuba. The miniseries highlights his political work within the organization and the systems and choices that led to him fleeing the country. Since the show focuses on Newton’s four-week-long departure from Los Angeles to Havana under the guise of a movie production, the truly fascinating aspects of his legacy are scarcely addressed.
Despite the stellar acting, detailed set design and an electric musical score, “The Big Cigar” never finds solid ground because the center of Newton’s story isn’t placed in focus. Directed by Don Cheadle, Episode 1, “Panther/Producer,” opens with a quick overview of the foundation of the Black Panther Party. Acting as narrator, Newton explains the varied contradictions of his life, why he and Bobby Seale founded the Panthers in 1966 and the manufactured murder charge that led to his decision to leave the United States just eight years later.
Following his release from prison in 1970, Newton is introduced to movie producer Bert Schneider (Alessandro Nivola) and his best friend and business partner, Steve Blauner (P. J. Byrne).

Newton.
