So between the outright lies and misinformation, the introduction of personal opinion as fact, and the lack of referances, I would urge no one to watch this movie. Well, do you have any proof? A name, a referance something?Īnd to thungs that have been proven as false was one claim that the Moors brought running water to Rome in 711 AD, after it’s collapse, when the Roman Aqueducts were constructed between 310 and 315 BC. One scholar asked the question who taught him? He followed that with they won’t tell you because ‘they’ don’t want to say a black man taught him. Leonardo Divinchi was arguably the greatest inventor of his time.

Which also leads me into the issue of proof. That the info you’re giving is a fabrication, or that you honestly don’t care about the facts begind the fact. It’s a filmed documentary… Stop the tape, cut the scene, tell the guy to find the reference and pick it up where you left off. There was also two different points where one of the scholars could not recall the referance to his claim but gave the info anyway. Its easy for someone to say “They have said this” and “It’s a know fact that” without any referance to the claim. There is also a lot of personal opinion thrown in with the unproven facts. That is just one of the issues i had with this film. So why did he put that bit of info into the film if it was false from the start? I had no ideal Mansa Musa and Montezuma are the same person. I need to brush up on my African antiquities. All in all, this was a good documentary, and I will be copping the DVD when it comes out. There was a good balance of that, as is needed in dealing with such difficult subjects. In addition to dropping knowledge on history and contemporary topics, all of the people speaking were able to present things in a refreshing and humorous way. From the knowledge of Ancient Egypt(Kemet) to the ancient empires of West Africa, to the Moor influence in medieval Europe, the presenters spoke on things from antiquity to the present day in 2 hours. Be forewarned: should you see this film, expect your assertions on many topics to be challenged.Ī great deal of subject matter was covered in this documentary. With a cast like this, you have to go in knowing that no punches will be pulled.

Coleman whose presentations I have attended is also in the program along with other Africanist scholars. Phil Valentine, Shahrazad Ali, and Umar Johnson. Tariq brings on some heavy-hitters for this one. Directed by best selling author and host of the “Mack Lessons” podcast Tariq Nasheed, Hidden Colors deals with the often untold history of Africans all over the world. This film is about the history of African cultural influence in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Last night at the Cinema Village, I attended a packed showing of the new documentary Hidden Colors.
