Compiled from archival footage shot in the heart of the Black Power movement, Göran Hugo Olsson’s Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 is surely one of the most powerful and fascinating documentary projects of the past year. He lets the key figures, such as Stokely Carmichael and Angela Davis speak for themselves, giving a shockingly intimate view of the inside of the movement. This presentation includes an introduction by producer Joslyn Barnes via Skype.
