Black Power Mix Tape 1967-1975

documentary

A Swedish film crew spent time in the US tracking the struggle by civil rights leaders for equality. These included MLK, SNCC and the Black Panthers. While they were here most of the leaders of the movement were murdered or jailed by the white power structure...the push for change got weaker and weaker.

Some great interview footage which could only have been gotten by a foreign crew. This film is a valuable record of that time and what happens to you if you openly challenge the ruling elite.

Very depressing.
