Göran Hugo Olsson: The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975 (2011)

Recdntly unearthed Swedish footage from the period includes Stokeley Carmichael interviewing his mother, Emile De Antonio lambasting TV Guide, a jail interview with Kathleen Cleaver, Luis Farrakhan just before he rose to power, and lovely color 16mm footage of Harlem and other locations. These are commented on periodically by a handful of black artists today who were there back then. The result may be some new perspective, and anyway a chance to revisit and reassess for ourselves this crucial time and movement in 20th century American history.
