Swedish director Göran Olsson made this fascinating documentary about the Black Power Movement with contemporary commentaries. Made entirely out of archival footage shot by Swedish journalists between 1967 to 1975, it shows never before seen footage of political climate during the time and the rise of civil rights movements and its key figures including Angela Davis and Stokely Carmichael amongst others. It's a part of US history that was never covered by any of the US media but thankfully to the Swedes to have stepped in and saved a crucial time capsule. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
