THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE: 1967-1975 and more films streaming online for free

An extraordinary documentary that we played in 2011, THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE: 1967-1975 is available for free through June 21, courtesy of our sister company, IFC Films, on Amazon and Apple TV, as the country grapples with the ongoing scourge of violence against the Black community.

Through archival conversations with leaders of the Black Power Movement—including Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Huey P. Newton, and Eldridge Cleaver—enriched by contemporary interviews with Harry Belafonte, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu and others, this searing chronicle offers a vital look at our recent history.

We have also compiled this list of other films centering on Black experiences that have been made available to stream for free by various distributors, which we will continue to update on our website.
