Plot Summary
The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 mobilizes a treasure trove of 16mm material shot by Swedish journalists who came to the US drawn by stories of urban unrest and revolution. Gaining access to many of the leaders of the Black Power Movement—Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver among them—the filmmakers captured them in intimate moments and remarkably unguarded interviews. Thirty years later, this lush collection was found languishing in the basement of Swedish Television. Director Göran Olsson and co-producer Danny Glover bring this footage to light in a mosaic of images, music and narration chronicling the evolution one of our nation's most indelible turning points, the Black Power movement.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: You are left in a bracing state of confusion, wondering how much has changed and how the change took place.
Fresh: The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 is a tangy raw stew of history, even if it never begins to confront the contradictions that bedeviled black militancy.
Fresh: Black nationalism lives and breathes in this remarkably fresh documentary assembled by Goran Hugo Olsson.
Fresh: The Black Power Mixtape includes plenty of interest, but it would be stronger if the filmmakers had dug a little deeper into the footage from 1967 to 1972 and skipped the final years altogether.

Must See Doc!!!
If you are into Black History and Leaders you must check out this never before seen footage....kudos to the people who put in the hard work to make this happen.
Amazing
After reading Revolutionary Suicide, Soledad Brother, and other books of the nature this documentary completed my set. I was surprised to see Stockley Carmichael in so much depth. I am very thankful for the people that put in the hard work to make this happen.
