Using maps, interviews, archival footage, slides, African music and early art, this program gives viewers a glance at how little we know about this diverse and fascinating continent. Even limiting its scope to West Africa, however, the video simply isn't long enough to adequately begin to tell the story of Africa's roots. An optional purchase. Aud: J, H, P. (N. Plympton)

All reviews from before this period will still retain their original rating. Future film submissions will be considered our new 1-5 star criteria.
