Pan African Film Fest’s Closing Weekend: Legacies of Slavery, Colonialism
23 October 2009
No Comment
“…the film’s studied outlining of Europe’s conquest of Asia, Africa and the Americas — and, with that, the destruction of indigenous cultures — is inherently infuriating in its critique of colonialism, capitalism, and political systems that stoke the world’s poverty. The far-left politics of many of the talking heads will be refreshing to some viewers and infuriating to others, but Diaz’s clear-eyed look at how cultures of despair and dependency are created and maintained is alone worth the price of admission.”
