The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 (2011)
The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 is a documentary that presents a unique outsider’s perspective on the Black Power movement in the United States. Directed by Göran Olsson, the film assembles previously unseen archival footage shot by Swedish journalists who traveled to America between 1967 and 1975. With a fresh lens, it captures the energy, struggle, and complexity of the movement, featuring rare interviews with key figures such as Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis, and Huey P. Newton. Enhanced by contemporary commentary from activists and artists like Erykah Badu and Talib Kweli, the documentary bridges past and present, offering a powerful reflection on Black resistance, media representation, and the fight for justice.
