All Power to the People!

★ 6.3/10•1996•1h 44m•History•Documentary

Using government documents, archive footage and direct interviews with activists and former FBI/CIA officers, All Power to the People documents the history of race relations and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States during the 1960s and 70s.
