Overview

This 58-minute Disney+ documentary pulls back the curtain on the production of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, covering everything from grief over Chadwick Boseman's death to the physical demands of building a new hero in Shuri. The Leans Progressive label follows naturally from the source material. The documentary exists to celebrate a film built around Black characters, African cultural identity, and a female lead inheriting a traditionally male role. None of that is incidental. The filmmakers frame these choices as the whole point, and the documentary amplifies that framing through cast interviews and behind-the-scenes access. There is no countering signal to pull the rating toward center.
