Ryan Coogler on Black Identity: Black Panther at BAM

Black Panther is now showing on the Steinberg Screen at the BAM Harvey Theater. To mark the opening, OkayAfrica's CEO, Abiola Oke, sat down with Black Panther director Ryan Coogler for a Q&A centered on the film's themes, cast, and cultural implications. Marvel Studios’ Black Panther follows T’Challa as he returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested. Ryan Coogler (Creed, Fruitvale Station) directs. Learn more: https://goo.gl/5TpW17
