“In the USA , Blacks make up just 12% of the population, but 42 percent of the nation's condemned prisoners.”- Amnesty

Crime, drugs, HIV/AIDS, poor education, inferiority complex, low expectation, poverty, corruption, poor health, and underdevelopment plagues people of African decent 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 twenty countries, 500 Years Later engages the authentic retrospective voice, told from the vantage-point of those whom history has sought to silence by examining t he 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!
