This Is My Africa
The award-winning documentary airs tomorrow Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 11:30 AM ; only in the U.S. "Directed and produced by Zina Saro-Wiwa , this quirky and unique film is a journey into an Africa that many may not know about. Created to reveal a more personal vision of the continent by weaving together the personal memories, tastes and experiences of 21 Africans and Africaphiles, This Is My Africa has been described as a 50-minute crash course in African culture." "The film is so tender and full of humour and honesty and … such a welcome alternative to the constant portrayal of Africa as a problem ... or a posh safari destination. It filled me with a desire to know more, travel more, listen to more music (I've already bought the Asa...). I'm proud to be a part of it." Colin Firth. Here's a clip: I hope you get a chance to watch or record it. Mama Shujaa
