Film and discussion:
‘Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975’ is a compilation film featuring extraordinary footage of the black power movement’s struggle against US racism, injustice and the colonial wars of the late 1960’s while building alternative forms of social solidarity and education. Rare, intimate interviews feature alongside rousing speeches from figures including Stokely Carmichael and Angela Davis – this film shines a light on one of the most important political movements of the last century.
Following the screening, guest speaker Margaret Henry will join us to reflect on the legacies of these movements (some of which she became involved in as a student in the US), as well as on their cross-cultural, cross-historical dimensions.
Margaret Henry is a documentary film producer, and director of Postcolonial Films
