“The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975″ Teaser Trailer (Sundance 2011)
And we’re off…! As I said in my post announcing the Sundance 2011 lineup, I’ll be going over the complete list, highlighting titles that we already haven’t given coverage to, taking into consideration this blog’s specific interests.
The first is a documentary titled The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975, directed by Swedish filmmaker Göran Hugo Olsson, and co-produced by Danny Glover and his Louverture Films.
Its synopsis: From 1967 to 1975, Swedish journalists chronicled the Black Power movement in America. Combining that 16mm footage, undiscovered until now, with contemporary audio interviews, this film illuminates the people and culture that fueled change and brings the movement to life anew.
Included in the mix are appearances and commentary by: Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, Emile de Antonio, Angela Davis, Harry Belafonte, Kathleen Cleaver, Robin Kelley, Abiodun Oyewole, Sonia Sanchez, Bobby Seale, Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli, Questlove and more.
Its Sundance screening(s) will be its world premiere!
