The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 mobilizes a treasure trove of 16mm
material shot by Swedish journalists who came to the U.S. drawn by
stories of urban unrest and revolution. Gaining access to many of the
leaders of the Black Power Movement-Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale,
Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver among them-the filmmakers captured
them in intimate moments and remarkably unguarded interviews.

Featuring music by The Roots and Michael Jackson.

GanoCafe? What does 'Gano' mean?

Wondering why our retail brand name is GanoCafe? What does Gano means? Yes, maybe in spanish it translate 'to win' - But actually, 'Gano' is short for Ganoderma Lucidum.

What is Ganoderma Lucidum?
Ganoderma Lucidum is the scientific name of the mysterious Red Mushroom that grows on only 2 out of 10,000 aged wild plum trees found in the dense and humid high mountain forests of Asia. Also known as Reighi, Lingzhi, and Yeongji, it was crowned by the ancient Chinese as the "Miraculous King of Herbs," due to its superior attributes which have stood the test of time for over 4,000 years. To date, no known herb has ever challenged its superiority. With good reason, thousands of scientific studies published on the Internet document growing confidence in its astonishing immunomodulating and adaptogenic properties.

Myth or Hope?
Ganoderma Lucidum has been shrouded in mystery for more than 4,000 years. Attributed with almost mythical properties by the ancients of Asia, this striking burgundy red mushroom with its shiny skin has recently surfaced as an object of hope for millions around the globe. Imbued with properties that help optimize every function of the body, Ganoderma has been studied by top scientists for a multitude of uses. Over and over, it has been shown to have benefits as an:

+Anti-bacterial
+Anti-candida
+Anti-inflammatory
+Anti-viral
+Anti-tumor
+Blood pressure regulator
+Cholesterol reducer
+Blood sugar moderator
+Cardiovascular enhancer
+Kidney, liver, & nerve tonic
+Immune booster
+Heavy metal detoxifier
