*About the Film:*
In the late '60s, after the assassination of both Malcolm X and Martin
Luther King, the civil rights movement in America gave way to a more
militant breed of activists who were demanding greater
self-determination for the African-American community and the right to
defend themselves against a system they felt was stacked against them.
Filmmaker Göran Hugo Olsson uses archival footage as the basis for the
documentary The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975, which includes vintage
interviews with Angela Davis, Eldridge Cleaver, Huey P. Newton,
Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Louis Farrakhan, and other key
figures in the Black Power movement. The newsreels are accompanied by
recent interviews with artists, activists, and cultural historians who
discuss this volatile period in American history, including Harry
Belafonte, Abiodun Oyewole, Melvin Van Peebles, and many others.
