Haile Gerima's works are not for applause and shopping. The more we listen to ourselves, the more we find them in our hearts. The wise man whispered in my ear that history begins with myself. Unfortunately, the world does not want to see the fame of the best people.
Its amazing to me how, great people are seldom appreciated in their homes or among their own people or more obviously (if my references didn't make sense) their birth country. Smh its a sad sad fact.
Who is the person who he mentions @ 59:56 as the person who he was walking with in NYC arguing about the vibrations of everything around us? Cathy Carlins? please help
Thank all of you for posting this. I understand this man. My daughter needs a person like you, but I raised her with my best integrity My greatest creation. I made one, ten minute 16 mm film in collaboration as a student artist instead of writing a paper for the final exam thinking I was being creative and I had this great idea. I did it an got a grade of a C. My idea was f him so I did a one shot little film, of me tearing and eating HIS book. It was somewhat rebellious and the desire to say I ingested and rejected on some level No shit.I painted. I like him and his mentality in EVERYTHING he said. Feeling you. .

I never understood Sweet Sweet back's oversexualization strategy either. It makes no sense to me.
I thought it was Micheal Jackson in the movie.
