FILM | Hot Docs: The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975
The Canadian Premiere of The Black Power Mixtape is happening tonight as part of the famed Hot Docs film festival. Between the years of 1967-1975, Swedish journalists traveled to the U.S. to get the real story behind the black power movement happening all over the country. Then for 30 years the footage sat gathering dust until director Goran Hugo Olsson uncovered it and made said documentary. It highlights the movement's evolution through the eyes of leaders such as Bobby Seale, Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver. This is truly a powerful film that'd you be crazy to miss out on.
Bloor Cinema (506 Bloor Street West), 6:30pm $14
