500 Years Later: Directors Cut (2005)

Good Product..for African American or Pan-African prospective

I really enjoyed this DVD.

After studying about Afrocentic views. This product kind of put the hammer to the nail.

It helped me to get a better understanding of the problem along with the solution.

I think this should be a must DVD for anyone interest in Black history September 28, 2008

500 years to the present

I thought I had an idea of how much the Black Holocaust had affected myself and the people around me. I spent endless days puzzleing over certain aspects of our behaviour and thought I understood. I now realise I was clueless.

I have been priviledged to attend a few lectures from the imminent Dr. Kimani Nehusi who has been prominantly featured in this film. If you can, buy this film it's a must have

I have purchased several and made I made presents to people with children, so they can be wise and change when they recognise some of the negatives being demonstrated in them selves. July 30, 2008

500 years later

This documentary is very informative, however I would like to know what the black race is doing with all this knowledge. Despite being aware of our history do we continue to be mentally enslaved or do we emancipate ourselves and create a positive legacy for the next generation. It would be interesting to see in my lifetime if we will be able to do so. Our ancestors sacrificed and paved the way for us to be where we are at today. Lets build on this by recognizing their efforts and knowing despite the odds something positive came from their experiences and so we should continue to carry their torch in a positive light. The best we can do to honour their legacy this moment in time is to put the ego one side and start to work together to build a better economic, spiritual and social structure for ourselves and the next generation. Once we have respect for ourselves, other nations will also begin to have that respect they once had for us many moons ago. Peace October 28, 2007

500 Years Later

This film documentary caputures some of the most important history that is relevant concerning the Afrikan continent's enslavement, and the pillifering resources struggles which remain our bondage. It is a gripping reality that reinforces my own persona of freedom and individuality; my mind and my life does not belong to no man or belief system,is a challenge that I will protect with my life as I live everyday. Five hundred years later and Afrikans everywhere haven't fully realized that the we must break the chains that are keeping us from our destiny of being the best in human capacity. September 29, 2007

As a final year student in History and Anthropology I have found this documentary extremly useful and would recommend it to anyone even if they are not history or anthropology students. It also gives on a view from the other side. I have also recommended this to my lecturer and he may get the other sudents to watch some clips from this. August 17, 2007
