EGALITE FOR ALL: TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE AND THE HAITIAN REVOLUTION

Friday 1st October 2010 It was the only successful slave insurrection in history. It grasped the full meaning of French revolutionary ideas and used them to create the world's first black republic. It elevated a former slave, Toussaint Louverture, to such international fame that admirers ranked him on par with George Washington. It was the Haitian Revolution, a movement of admirable aspirations... and appalling destructions. Vaguely remembered today, the Haitian Revolution of 1791- 1804 traumatized planters in the American South and inspired U.S slaves. Egalite for all explores this history through music, voodoo ritual, powerful recreations, and insightful writers and historians.

MARCUS GARVEY: LOOK FOR ME IN THE WHIRLWIND

Friday 15th October 2010 Marcus Garvey: Look for Me in the Whirlwind uses a wealth of archival film, photographs and documents to uncover the story of this Jamaican immigrant who between 1916 and 1921 built the largest black mass movement in world history. It explores Garvey's dramatic successes and failures before his fall into obscurity. Among the film's most powerful sequences are interviews with people who witnessed the Garvey movement first hand more than 80 years ago. These interviews communicate the appeal of Garvey's revolutionary ideas to a generation of African Americans and reveal how he invested hundreds of thousands of black men and women with a newfound sense of racial pride.

APOCALYPSE AFRICA: MADE IN AMERICA

Friday 29th October 2010 Rated: 15 Secret recordings. Once classified films. Hidden documents. From in side the archives of the United States government comes a story of racism and manipulation that reveals how the actions of a nation ultimately brought about the collapse of a continent: Africa. It took the deaths of six million Jews before we finally said, "never again." Yet, with at least twenty million Africans killed so far, due to wars in Darfur, Uganda, Rwanda and many, many more, the body count continues to rise. With powerfully haunting images, this controversial film exposes the story of Africa's collapse and will fill you with an intense passion for the importance of human life.
