A documentary about the struggle and triumph of African-American family, community, and culture, using Kwanzaa as a vehicle to celebrate the African-American experience. The seven principles of Kwanzaa (unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith) are so important to African-Americans today. The documentary explores the holiday's growth out of the Black Power Movement in the 1960s to its present-day reality as a global, pan-African holiday embraced by over 40 million celebrants.

Around the 8:00 minute mark when they were talking about school history classes, I agree. Our schools suck at teaching history. My high school didn't even teach good European history, unless you qualified for a special advanced class that few people took. It mostly focused on the old white guys in the United States. No wonder we're so ignorant, we're barely taught a thorough history of our own country, nor real thorough histories of other continents [except sort of Europe.]

Thank you for sharing this...Kwanzaa is so underpromoted...of course it was "created..." any holiday; Christmas was Pagan and consisted of homosexual orgies, then they insulted the Messiah by saying it was his birthday! At least Kwanzaa helps you to take pride in being a melanated being! Celebrate and honor the ancestors and their contributions to this world! I miss good documentaries like this...

I'm not saying Kwanzaa doesn't have some value toward black self-empowerment and determination but the fact remains it's a made up holiday. It doesn't draw on the energy of the various Kemetic spiritual practices where the real energy still resides within us. Would you rather start all over with something brand new and hope it works or use what we already know works from our ancestors? I think most would agree the latter. It's almost like some type of copycat Hannukah. Nobody should copy anything the Jews do. Everything they practice came from Kemet anyway...albeit whitewashed and void of Spirit.
