Soul Jazz Records presents Sound + Image: Music in Film
Swedish documentary director Goran Olsson compliled this feature-length collection of archive footage chronicling the US Black Power movement, originally shot by a group of Swedish television journalists during the 1960s and ’70s.
Despite its geographical and cultural distance, the Swedish media observed the unfolding events of the Black Power movement in the United States with avid interest which was arguably more than the mainstream media in the United States itself. Fascinating.
