This move is Beautiful!!
The first time I heard of this movie was in College. I then purchased myself a copy. This movie is Amazing, Probably the truest, realest movie regarding Slavery. It told of the horrors and abuse African people who were brought to this country endured.. I believe this is a must see for everyone regardless of races..The strength alone of the people, to deal with what they faced and to still rise above that is absolutely Incredible. It is a shame that this movie got no recognition in the US . I guess it would cause people to deal with the reality of the horrific brutality human beings faced during this darkest era in American History.
Tara was fiction, this is real!
Most older movies and many movies in general like “Song of the South” and “Gone With the Wind” depicted Slavery as an okay instuition. In those films Slaves are depicted as Happy in that institiution, but in this film you see how Slaves really felt. Also you can see their humanity and knowledge where in older films they were depicted as ignorant.This film is really, really neat for an independent film, and it shows a real slave castle in Gahana. Sankofa is a term that… Well, get the movie and you will learn more about it.
It does a good job of taking you through the film from a slaves point of view. The film uses that interesting “lens” to illustrate just how wrong slavery was. It also gives insight into the family unit among slaves, which may explain the black family today in America. Understanding the history of black families during slavery may be used to help understand the black family today in it’s struggles to have cohesiveness.
