The Black Power Mixtape
Film screening honoring Black History Month
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. Music
by Questlove and Om'Mas Keith, and commentary from prominent
African-American artists and activists who were influenced by the
struggle - including Erykah Badu, Harry Belafonte, Talib Kweli, and
Melvin Van Peebles - give the historical footage a fresh, contemporary
resonance and makes the film an exhilarating, unprecedented account of
an American revolution.
