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.

“A time capsule of a turbulent era, it’s essential viewing for anyone
concerned with America’s history – and its present.” — David Fear,

Boost Your Immune System During Flu Season

With flu season here make sure you protect your body. Prevention is not only by getting the flu shot but by taking care of your body from controlling food consumption and being active. Several research shows that consumption of organic foods such as Gano Rooibos Tea, vegetables and fruits keeps your immune system strong but also defense against free radicals and damaging components which can cause premature aging. Besides food also being active such as sports or exercise also help your immune system. Another common daily prevention is supplements such as Ganoderma, Vitamin C & E. Make the decision to start ahead and protect yourself to take special care of your body.
