23. The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975

As the Black Power movement of the ’60s and ‘ 70s continued, Swedish journalists kept their cameras rolling. Thirty years later, their footage was displayed in The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975, a video documenting key figures and developments from a perspective detached from American media. In fact, the voices of current experts are mixed in the original video to provide a new and modern viewpoint.

The documentary follows the Innocence Project, whose aim is to locate missteps and fraud within the context of false prosecutions, thereby exposing discrimination in the legal system. The Netflix documentary focuses on eight exonerated individuals and three cases of wrongful conviction.

Through comprehensive efforts, those working with the Innocence Project expose “the use of unethical forensic science,” “the abuse of eyewitness identification,” “and prosecution fraud” as they seek to free innocent people behind bars.
