Quotes

Molefi Kete Asante: If you go back and look at what Africans did; the first people to cross a river the first people who decided how to build shelter, geometry, how to count-these were African people.

A film to see
13 May 2010 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

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.
