Using Frantz Fanon’s anticolonial call to arms “The Wretched of the Earth” as a launching point, director Göran Olsson (THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE 1967–1975) constructs a revelatory assemblage of archival newsreel footage documenting decades of African uprisings, from the Angolan War of Independence to a 1960s miners’ strike in Liberia to the Mozambique Liberation Front and beyond. Set against Fanon’s scorching words, as narrated by Lauryn Hill, the result is a bold and fresh reframing of history.
