London, March 5: British actor Daniel Kaluuya has always been vocal about witnessing racism all around, yet he admits never being aware of "awakening a community". This was something he says he only realised after preparing for his role of Fred Hampton in the upcoming film Judas And The Black Messiah.
Kaluuya has already won a Golden Globe as Best Supporting Actor for his role of Hampton and is also garnering an Oscar buzz.
The biographical film tells the story of Hampton, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party in Chicago of the late 1960s. Hampton was betrayed by FBI informer William O'Neal (Lakeith Stanfield).
"The message in Chairman Fred Hampton's words and ideas - his ultimate purpose - is to awaken his community. He doesn't want them just to be free. He wants them to free themselves. I think that's such a rational and clear way to empower others.
