"Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 is a compilation film featuring extraordinary documentary footage of the Black Panthers in the late 60's, set to a soundtrack from Questlove and Om'Mas Keith and new commentary from the likes of Talib Kweli, Questlove and Erykah Badu.

Unearthed from a basement, the footage contains intimate interviews alongside rousing speeches from Stokely Carmichael and black power activist Angela Davis whose imprisonment is captured on camera. For all its achival footage, this is a very contemporary peice of work that shines new light on one of the most important political movements to emerge in the last century."
