Starting in 1967 a number of journalists for Swedish television sent film crews to the United States to interview major figures in the Black Panther Party and the larger Black Power movement. Filmmaker Göran Hugo Olsson has used some of this archival footage as the basis for the documentary The Black Power Mixtape: 1967-1975. Presented by: Joslyn Barnes, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Louverture Films, LLC—New York, New York. 
The N!GGER Word video uses interviews and commentary from a wide range of people to discuss the shocking, confusing, painful and sometimes comforting term that is seeing a resurgent use in our society and in many different cultures. Many viewpoints are heard and some challenging questions are posed as the “N!GGER Word” is explained, examined and through different perspectives and personal testimony especially its influence on the millennial generation. What is the state of the N!GGER word in our society today? Will it become obsolete or eventually lose it power? Is there a message in the madness? Can something designed to kill you, be turned into something uplifting? This film discussion will attempt to answer these questions and more. Are you ready?

This powerful, heartfelt new film features moving personal accounts interwoven with movement, music, and art to illuminate the system that perpetuates structural inequity. By experiencing an abundance of voices and stories, viewers more easily include their own lived experiences as part of a larger story. In this way, people’s rooted assumptions, which undergird their thoughts, beliefs, and actions, are more readily brought to the surface, and shared through dialogue. Designed to shift and deepen the conversation about race, the film Understanding the System of Inequity is the first of a three part project and features leaders in the equity movement including: Peggy McIntosh, Joy DeGruy, Amer Ahmed, Ise Lyfe and Eveline Shen.
