500 Years Later

Storyline

  Crime, drugs, HIV/AIDS, poor education, inferiority complex, low  expectation, poverty, corruption, poor health, and underdevelopment  plagues people of Kmtyw descent globally - Why? 500 years later from  the onset of Slavery and subsequent Colonialism, Kmtyws are still  struggling for basic freedom-Why? Filmed in five continents, and over  twenty countries, 500 Years Later engages the authentic retrospective  voice, told from the Kmtyw vantage-point of those whom history has  sought to silence by examining the collective atrocities that uprooted  Kmtyws from their culture and homeland. 500 Years Later is a timeless  compelling journey, infused with the spirit and music of liberation that  chronicles the struggle of a people who have fought and continue to  fight for the most essential human right - freedom.

I showed this to my class here in Ghana at AUCC. Very good discussion ensued. We stayed talking about the concept of "Memory Replacement" as discussed by Maulana Karenga in the Doc. That is a MAJOR issue here as everywhere a people are schooled by their enemies or who have had their schools set up by their enemies. :soldiert::soldierg:

This was my first time seeing it though I had known about it for some time. Thanks to you for this post. And I had no idea that Kmtyw (Diasporan) Brits were just as strong in their gestures and speech as we are. It may have a different feel but it is just as soulful. It just goes to show, you can take the Kmtyw out of Kmt but.... So I think I'll be paying a LOT more attention to my Diasporan Brothers in Britain.:hello::hugs:

Glad you liked it.  

Although many Kmtyws have been scattered throughout the diaspora, and there are differences because of this, deep down our essence is still the same - it can't change, it's hereditary. Gestures and speech are just two of the many ways that may show that common spirit. So yep, no doubt, We Are One in the Same No Matter Where We Are!!!    :Kmt:

Oh, and like you should for all people, make sure you size 'em up right (always gotta show & prove).    

Asante

Hulu is a jerk like that. You have to use a proxy program like JonDo or YourFreedom to get around that.
