My new short film, Forgotten, tentatively retitled, "A Forgotten History" blog is up here:
A FORGOTTEN HISTORY

A Very Important Program and Series

Watch the full episode. See more Black in Latin America.

I watched this program and was very glad to see a program focusing on Blacks in Latin America as African roots are prominent and dominant in Latin America but rarely discussed or expressed in terms of identity especially on a wide scale among its people, especially those in Spanish speaking countries.

Forgotten

My film project, tentatively titled, Forgotten, will be filmed this summer.

The Black Image Reconceptualized through Art - Highly Important Works

It is indeed through images which imprint themselves into human consciousness that preconceptions and ideals are formed. Through due research one can find blacks as prominent leaders of nations, ancient builders of civilization and technologies but more often than not they have been excluded from history books and classrooms. I praise the effort of uplifting the image of blacks which have been highly disfigured, demoralized, tainted and misconceived throughout history.
