Judas and the Black Messiah: How Dominique Fishback's Casting Made Her Feel Seen

Feb 02 2021
It’s about time everyone knew the name Dominique Fishback. She shines in Night Comes On, made a huge impression HBO’s The Deuce, and now she stars alongside Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Standfield in awards season hopeful, Judas and the Black Messiah. The Shaka King-directed film tells the true story of Fred Hampton (Kaluuya), the chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther party. Much of the movie focuses on his powerful voice within the movement and how that caught the eye of the FBI, but it’s Fishback’s work as Hampton’s fiancée, Deborah Johnson (now Akua Njeri), that adds an especially moving intimacy to the story.
