The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975
-
From 1967 to 1975, a film crew directed their cameras at major figures in America's Black Power movement, generating hours of footage that remained unreleased for three decades. Archival footage of Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver speak to the movement's evolution while contemporary African American thinkers, including Harry Belafonte and Erykah Badu, reflect on their legacy.

Broken into nine chapters -- one for each year -- the documentary isn't a rigorous work but a felt piece of vital, if flawed, art. full review
Lisa Kennedy, Denver PostThe Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 is not your standard documentary dealing with racism in America. full review
Tom Long, Detroit NewsA film that suffers from a surfeit of credulity. full review
Ann Hornaday, Washington PostYou watch the material here and wonder whether most of the movies made about black people are meant to pacify general audiences, to distract them from demanding more of the movies. full review
Wesley Morris, Boston GlobeIt is mostly impressionistic - but, wow, some of those impressions really pack a punch. full review
David Lewis, San Francisco ChronicleThis chronicle of pride and social upheaval is filled with vintage images and important voices. full review
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily NewsThe Black Power Mixtape includes plenty of interest, but it would be stronger if the filmmakers had dug a little deeper into the footage from 1967 to 1972 and skipped the final years altogether. full review
Mark Jenkins, NPRYou are left in a bracing state of confusion, wondering how much has changed and how the change took place. full review
A.O. Scott, New York TimesBlack nationalism lives and breathes in this remarkably fresh documentary assembled by Goran Hugo Olsson. full review
J. Hoberman, Village VoiceThe Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 is a tangy raw stew of history, even if it never begins to confront the contradictions that bedeviled black militancy. full review
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment WeeklyLike any mixtape, it offers some truly transcendent moments alongside a smattering of filler, and never quite assembles its pieces into a cohesive whole. full review
