Romanticizing history & culture OR Cleaning out old notions of history & culture by RandomAfricanAm: 7:23pm On Apr 23, 2013
This is director Haile Gerima, I just recently caught on to his work. I've watched a couple of interviews with him and this one really resonated with me as regaurding African people on the contenint and in the diaspora(regardless of nationality, ethnicity, time abroad, etc).

In the video he is talking about the need to go into the mind to rewrite the way you see and approtch the world and your self. I feel a cultural section like this board on nairaland helps in that regaurd. He's talking about movies but it's applicable to any field ...or just life in general.
