“BLACKS WITHOUT BORDERS: CHASING THE AMERICAN DREAM IN SOUTH AFRICA

Location:
Alexandria Black History Museum, 902 Wythe Street, Alexandria, VA

Note:
The second of SankofaSpirit’s Movies with a Mission, this groundbreaking documentary film takes a heartfelt look at the emotional journey of a group of African Americans who called it quits in the U.S. to start a new life in South Africa, chronicling 12 modern day globetrotters who have uprooted their lives in pursuit of their dreams and are finding that America is not the only land of opportunity. The film provides a candid and touching tale of sacrifice, hardship and great rewards by U.S. born citizens as they adjust to the cultural differences and combat negative perceptions that America may garners in other parts of the world. SankofaSpirit created its film series to counter the myths and negative images of people of African descent so often promoted by Hollywood. Free! / 703.838.4356
