Description: A self-absorbed Black American fashion model on a photo shoot in Africa is spiritually transported back to a plantation in the West Indies where she experiences first-hand the physical and psychic horrors of chattel slavery, and eventually the redemptive power of community and rebellion as she becomes a member of a freedom-seeking Maroon colony.

One of the greatest movies ever made...

Makes me sick that Roots is considered the pinnacle slave depiction; Sankofa and Quilombo are the best depictions you could ever watch.

I remember seeing this at a special theatre when it came out with my middle school class. Haven't seen it sense but I remember it was pretty intense.

 

[IronFist]

more people need to see this

Saw this movie when I was ten and it had a PROFOUND effect on me. I honestly haven't looked at Cacs the same since that night. I still show that movie to brothers and sisters from time to time if I feel like they'll understand and get something from the overall theme.


Real talk there was actually a school in Lansing Michigan called Sankofa Shule that I attended. An all black charter school where we learned about Black history, culture, and progression. Our uniforms were Dashiki's and Kufi's, it was the absolute BEST educational experience I ever had...

He's also been a professor at Howard since the early 70s also. He still makes films too though he's got a few projects in the works.

But yeah, I run the bookstore and order the book selection and do some work for the film company. If y'all ever in DC come visit the shop, if you on your conscious shyt fo real then the whole block we're on is where you need to come to.

Did you ever order any copies of that Emory Douglas book we were talking about? I need to jump back on your website and try to order up a copy of Sankofa again.
