Say it with my people in L.A. and we all agree Wow! they did it with 500 Years Later and now again? Wow and Wow. While 500 Years Later completely destroys the myth of history is in the past and that slavery was a long time ago. This film repositions the image of Africa in such a bold and progressive way. The same formula as 500 years Later. A bunch of educated Black folk from all areas (many academics verse artist and silly celebrities) speaking on the different areas of Africa.
I particularly like the final message of the film, which I will not disclose. But It is funny how when I watch films on Africa I always came away feeling sad. Now these films I don't know who made them. But when I watch Motherland it discusses things good and bad but yet I do not come away feeling sorry for Africa, why is that. Maybe because this film is made and produced by conscious African people. Who really identify with the continent or the African people culturally. And it shows, because when you watch this film, just like 500 Years Later, you realize only an African director would have made these directions in the questions asked to the way the history is projected.
Well done, what next? Ill do my part and tell everyone about this project.
