Sundance Review: Daniel Kaluuya And Lakeith Stanfield In Judas And The Black Messiah – Deadline

In a new era of political division and protest, Hollywood has seemingly rediscovered the late 1960s and its uproar in the streets as a way to mirror what American society is experiencing now. On the heels of Aaron Sorkin’s brilliant The Trial of the Chicago 7, we now have another true story of the government trying to quell the rising voices of dissent, in this case with the controversial Black Panther movement in the same time period. Director Shaka King powerfully takes it on and gives it gravitas in the eye-opening Judas and the Black Messiah. Daniel Kaluuya stars as Fred Hampton, the young charismatic chairman of the Black Panthers chapter in Illinois, and Lakeith Stanfield is William O’Neal, the troubled young man who infiltrates his organization as an informant for the FBI, w...

New strains of coronavirus create potential for spring surge, Utah doctors say – KSL.com

MURRAY — If coronavirus variants now spreading throughout the United States become dominant strains, health experts fear the potential for a springtime surge. That's why the speed of the vaccine campaign and public health protective measures are so important. On Jan. 15, the Utah Department of Health confirmed the first case of the B.1.1.7 COVID-19 variant in Utah, referred to as the "U.K. variant," through ongoing genetic sequencing of positive COVID-19 samples. According to Dr. Eddie Stenehjem, an infectious disease doctor at Intermountain Healthcare, Utahns need to keep up the personal protective measures until the vaccine makes an impact. "From an epidemiology standpoint, we are moving in the right direction, and we need to make sure that we keep doing what we're doing," said Stenehje...

SALT LAKE CITY — In March 2020, the world seemingly shut down as state leaders rushed to keep Utahns safe from the quick-spreading and largely mysterious novel coronavirus. As part of the response, church services were limited and family members were unable to visit loved ones at health care facilities. Nearly a year later, a state lawmaker is trying to prevent that from ever happening again with a proposed bill that he says will protect religious and personal freedoms, even in states of emergency. Rep. Cory Maloy, R-Lehi, is the sponsor for HB184, which would block health departments from limiting religious exercise or the entry of a church. It also prohibits a health care facility from barring individuals from seeing at least one family member or spiritual advisor at a time. "This is no...
