Broken into nine chapters -- one for each year -- the documentary isn't a rigorous work but a felt piece of vital, if flawed, art.

It's thrilling to hear from unrepentant revolutionaries such as Angela Davis and amusing to hear from their bell-bottomed white lawyers.

The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 is not your standard documentary dealing with racism in America.
Tom Long, Detroit News

The film is testament to the power of archival legwork in documentary-filmmaking.
David Jenkins, Time Out

From the fly-on-the-wall, cinema-verite style of the '60s to a more aggressive, advocacy approach in the mid-'70s, "Mixtape" is a wide slice of nonfiction film history.
