    As a mzungu who has lived in Uganda for 2 years and has also been to Zanzibar I salute you David, we need more documentaries like these to show Africa's exotic culture and their way of life. Lets celebrate our differences and revel in them thank you.

    Kenyan living abroad. So captivated by my lands beauty, loved the Masai chants mixed with the modern soundtrack with the backdrop of prayer. It saddens me that we have to leave such beauty because of lack of opportunity in Africa. Still we keep our heads high and dream of a better tomorrow.

      Don’t worry your people will be the civilisation that will ascend and rule the world next in sha Allah. The turn of whites is over and the sun is setting on their history. I am sure when Africa rises it will be a better world because there is an innocence in them which will pervade the world and make it a better place to live in. In sha Allah. I am not an African btw.

    The flavor of this journey is ever so full of enthusiasm as were the other 3 I watched. However, Africa has such diverse Peoples with such colorful energies and Conscious Living of Life with a Mastery of Harmony, Passion, Genuine Emotion, and observable Gratitude. They are truly Magical in their Mastery of merging Soul with their Human and both with their Environment - they Shine Light - just as the Ancient Texts describe -
    These African Productions are Exceptional among those I've viewed, and each have been complete with the Capturing of their relative Peoples Spirits captured in the whole of the "Art of Production" -
    These are Award Worthy - I feel charged in positive energies for my having experienced each one.
    What a most genuinely shared Gift - Thank you. 💫⛅💫
