Strong message about the power of African culture but not executed well
Lord Shango is a very interesting movie and shows how the blaxploitation genre expanded during the 1970s. It contrasts the African American church with traditional African religions. That’s shown at the start when the credits are rolling and the music shifts from a Gospel song to African drumming. Then a baptism is interrupted by a man who is drowned by the church members. He’s given an African funeral with praises to Shango who was a deity form Nigeria. The movie deals with this conflict through the man’s mother Jenny (Marlene Clark) who turns to African culture and religion to console her.<br /><br />The movie had a great idea but it wasn’t executed well. The main problem is the story just sort of meanders after the start. There are too many parts where it doesn’t seem like anything is happening. While the message was strong about the power of African tradition it just didn’t keep it interesting.<br />C
