Another White man telling A Black mans story

A group of whites get together and cash in on a story which, had an African American done it, we wouldn't even be here discussing it. Because it would never be funded to have a polish website or a polished distributor. All the festivals rush to accept it yet these festivals are known for rejecting African films like 500 Years Later and Sankofa.

this film is a cinematic cop-out where an alternative story is told over a pile of stock footage. It is part of the cash in on Black culture season. Where African-Americans stories are for the profit of those who have a history of oppression. So the final conclusion is Africans are incapable of voicing their own stories and have to watch their history sold back to them in a distorted form.
