| Trailer for documentary film in 74 mins festival version or 52 mins TV version. "Never has the story of the origins and history--the decline and fall and resurrection--of this black center of learning and intellect been told in more compelling fashion than in this marvelous documentary. I am assigning it to both my undergraduate and graduate courses at Harvard, and hope that all scholars of African and African American Studies will do the same. Truth be told, all students in high school and college throughout the world should be required to see this film, and learn of the history of our intellectual forebears whose very existence Europe and the West have, until recently, systematically denied. This film is a triumph!" Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (contact- dmaxbrown@mweb.co.za) |
