Titel des Films: Sankofa
Kurzbeschreibung der Handlung: afroamerikanisches Fotomodel gerät in die Vergangenheit und die Welt ihrer afrikanischen Ahnen, die als Sklaven in die Karibik verschleppt wurden ...
Fazit: einer der stärksten spirituellen Filme, die ich je gesehen habe

P.S. Ich hab den Film 2005 vom Fernsehen auf VHS aufgezeichnet, da ist auch der Anfang mit drauf, der auf dem Link oben leider fehlt. Zu Beginn werden die Geister der Toten beschworen:
"Spirit of the Dead rise up,
Lingering Spirit of the Dead rise up and possess your bird of passage.
Those stolen Africans step out of the ocean from the wombs of the ships and claim your story.
Spirit of the Dead rise up,
Lingering Spirit of the Dead rise up and possess your vessel.
Those Africans shackled in leg irons and enslaved,
Step out of the acres of cane fields and cotton fields and tell your story.
Spirit of the Dead rise up,
Lingering Spirit of the Dead rise up and possess your bird of passage.
Those lynched in the magnolias,
swinging on the limbs of the weeping willows,
rotting food for the vultures,
Step down and claim your story.
Spirit of the Dead rise up,
Lingering Spirit of the Dead rise up and possess your vessel.
Those tied, bound, and whipped from Brazil to Mississippi
Step out and tell your story.
Those in Jamaica,
in the fields of Cuba,
in the swamps of Florida,
the rice fields of Carolina
You waiting Africans step out and tell your story.
Spirit of the Dead rise up,
Lingering Spirit of the Dead rise up and possess your bird of passage.
From Alabama to Suriname,
Up to the caves of Louisiana.
Come out! You African Spirits,
Step out! And claim your stories.
You raped,
Slave bred,
Castrated,
Burned,
Tarred and feathered,
Roasted, chopped, lobotomized,
Bound and gagged.
YOU African Spirits!!!
Spirit of the Dead rise up,
Lingering Spirits of the Dead rise up and possess your bird of passage."
