AfroPoP: 10 Days In Africa 45 mins
Produced by Regi Allen
Price: $14.95
In a wonderfully textured narrative style, African American filmmaker Regi Allen makes a sojourn to three West African countries to discover for himself the truth behind the myths that separate black identity in Africa from black identity in the Diaspora. With a critical lens often pointed at himself, Allen creates an intoxicatingly chaotic film that raises as many questions as it answers. Filled with deeply moving cinematic stills and 8MM footage, 10 Days In Africa is a song of love intended to heal many wounds, while weaving a complicated path to his firmer understanding of black identity.

went to Ghana in 2002, found people there talented and intelligent. They are skilled at getting money out of blacks from America by playing on the fact of our lost identity. Going is an experience I think every African American should have an opportunity to have but should get some smarts before you go and know and respect their culture while there.
