a an african american male this film really hit home for me . it upset me that there aren not more film like this from the perspective of the oppressed . i can not believe i do not hear of this film until recently and the same a i never heard of great african and people of african descent like dr. cheikh anta diop and dr. john henrick clarke and dr. amos wilson and dr. chancellor williams and dr. carter g. woodson and many others like them until recently . this film show how life today among black strongly resemble the life of slave on the plantation . we think we be free but our mind be stick in self hatred . i recommend this movie to people of all race and background and very eye opening and educational . 10 time well than any root or amistad or color purple that be make by people not of african descent .
