Durante más de treinta años ha permanecido oculto en una televisión sueca un material inédito sobre el movimiento estadounidense Black Power, pero ahora, una vez rescatado, se han puesto a disposición de todos las entrevistas, vídeos y reportajes que realizaron algunos periodistas del país nórdico en Estados Unidos, entre los años 1967 y 1975. Black Power fue un movimiento de defensa de los derechos de ciudadanos negros que se desarrolló en EEUU a finales de los sesenta y principios de los setenta. La protesta social reivindicaba el orgullo racial y cultural que suponía ser negro y demandaba igualdad de derechos políticos y sociales para toda la sociedad, independientemente de su raza.
