Directed by Haile Gerima | 1993
With Kofi Ghanaba, Oyafunmike Ogunlano, Alexandra Duah
This blistering, elaborately stylized parable from LA Rebellion leader Haile Gerima (Bush Mama) is a beautiful and disturbing Afrocentric interrogation of the past through a contemporary lens. While on a photo shoot in Ghana, an African-American model who has lost touch with her roots is transported back in time to a sugar plantation in the antebellum South, where she experiences the horrors of slavery and discovers the power of revolt.
