2011 | 100 min| English & Swedish (EN subtitles) 16+

From 1967 to 1975, Swedish journalists traveled across the United States documenting the Black Power movement, capturing rare and intimate footage of organizers, artists, and community life.

Forgotten in archives for decades, this material resurfaces as a powerful cinematic collage, blending historical footage with contemporary reflections from artists and activists. The film offers an outsider's lens on a pivotal era, revealing the people, culture, and political energy that fueled a movement for liberation.

A vibrant and urgent portrait of resistance that remains deeply relevant today.
