#TheBigCigar The all-new episode of “The Big Cigar, premieres this Friday, May 24th on Apple TV+.
The six-episode drama is executive produced by NAACP Image Award winner Janine Sherman Barrois, Jim Hecht and Joshuah Bearman.
Based on the magazine article by Joshuah Bearman, who will also serve as executive producer, “The Big Cigar” is the incredible true story of Hollywood revolution meeting social revolution.
It’s a wild caper of Black Panther founder Huey Newton escaping from the FBI to Cuba with the assistance of famed producer Bert Schneider in an impossibly elaborate plan - involving a fake movie production - that goes wrong every way it possibly can. And somehow, it’s all true. Mostly.
In the new episode “Guns & Matzah,” Huey and Eldridge stand divided. Bert and Steve clash over Huey.
The road to Cuba becomes increasingly treacherous.
