The Africana Studies Student Association is seeking to foster an atmosphere to have an open dialogue about issues presented in the film 500 Years Later. 500 Years Later illustrates the relationship between the transatlantic slave trade and modern day issues that impact peoples of the African diaspora.
This thought provoking movie will be sure to please. Free food and drinks will be provided at the event.
Plot Summary:
"Crime, drugs, HIV/AIDS, poor education, inferiority complex, low expectation, poverty, corruption, poor health and underdevelopment plagues people of African descent globally. Why? 500 Years Later from the onset of slavery and subsequent Colonialism, Africans are still struggling for basic freedom. Why? Filmed in five continents, and over 20 countries, 500 Years Later engages the authentic retrospective voice, told from the African vantage-point of those whom history has sought to silence by examining the collective atrocities that uprooted Africans from their culture and homeland. 500 Years Later is a timeless compelling journey, infused with the spirit and music of liberation that chronicles the struggle of a people who have fought and continue to fight for the most essential human right -- freedom."
