What a wonderful piece of art from Shahadah and his team. For those of you who want to see the truth about Africa then this is the film to see.
It is a combination of knowledge and experience from the director and some of the best intellectuals minds of African decent. It is suitable for people of all ages and cultures. I recommend this film to all audiences.
Shahadah has done it again. His usual quest for the truth is evident in this work. Films about Africa have never been approached in this context.
I congratulate the directors , the writers and the actors that have all made this work of art.
