Documentaries/films about the Black Power movement?

[Le Socialiste]

I've watched Sir! No Sir!, The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975, and Berkeley in the Sixties. The last one dealt with the civil rights and Black power movements too, but only really scratched the surface I felt. Can anyone suggest or recommend additional docs or movies pertaining to the Black power movement and the struggle for civil rights? I recall hearing about a documentary that dealt with the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement in Detroit, but have since forgotten the title. Anyway, post your suggestions here I guess. I'm interested in learning more.

The Black Power Mix-Tape is a really good one. Eyes on the Prize gives a pretty good treatment of the more mainstream elements of the Black Power movement, like the Panthers.

"Finnally Got the News" is about DRUM and it's a hot mess in terms of being a documentary (DRUM basically had to take over - liberate - the film from the doc crew), but pretty interesting. I think it's on Youtube too. DRUM also wanted to make a movie about Rosa Luxembourg (with Jane Fonda) but that never made it.

While not focused on the Black Power movement itself, I recommendt Crips and Bloods: Made In America (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479044/) becaue there is a sequence in the film where they detail the decline of the Panthers as itself a major cause for a lot of issues in places like L.A.

He talks to Mike Davis (which is where the title of the film comes from... LA gangs being the "bastard offspring" of the BPP in this analogy) and it's a really interesting look into how capitalist restructuring and neoliberalism in cities generated the exposion in gang violence.

Oh wow that sounds quite interesting. You should write a review of it for the Left Film Review ;) heh
