Quilombo DVD

 Sad Reminder
Colorful, but no developing characters. Sad reminder of slavery.

 A Good Education should always be valued.
This movie is Great! Apart from the usual (moving)images and sound, there is a valuable lesson in this film: Buried history will always resurface. Quilombo was, and is, unheard of by billions of people. It is in a similar vain of "Sankofa",by Haile Gerima. I am thankful to know of its existence. I recommend it.

 Riveting
Being curious about slavery outside of the US, Quilombo seemed to be a good start for me to get a visual sense of what the slaves endured during those times. I am from Ife, Nigeria. The cradle and source of all Yoruba. As I watched Quilombo and saw the language and religion of my people displayed regularly through the depictions of the slaves, I felt a kinship of seeing the fate of my people who were brought over to Brazil in chains, but still used the "source" to garner the strength to chase off their captors. Ogun, Shango, all are references to the dieties in the Yoruba faith. It's obvious that those freed in Brazil did everything to retain their old ways of life, and did so in death. I felt honored to be "introduced" to the fate of my people when they crossed towards the otherside. The movie touched me very personally. A must see....
