Synopsis
The Black Power Mixtape examines the
evolution of the Black Power Movement in the black community and
Diaspora from 1967 to 1975. The film combines music, startling 16mm
footage (lying undiscovered in the cellar of Swedish Television for
30 years), and contemporary audio interviews from leading
African-American artists, activists, musicians and scholars.
