Afrique(s), une autre histoire du 20e siècle

by Elikia M’Bokolo, Philippe Sainteny, Alain Ferrari et Jean-Baptiste Péretié – 2010 - 90’ (7x52’ series)
Production: Temps Noir, INA with theparticipation de France 5

For far too long, Africa has had no face, no words, no memories. Its only History was the one written by those who pillaged it and made it suffer. As if Africa couldn’t speak for itself, tell us her true identity. The AFRIQUE(S), Une autre histoire du 20e siècle series, makes us re-live 100 years of the History of Africa, through the voice of great actors , all of those who took part of it’s rebirth and made it enter the 21st century. An African saying says: “Until the lions have their own historians, hunting stories will keep on glorifying the hunter.” For the 50th commemoration anniversary of independences in 2010, and for the organization of the World Cup in South Africa, the AFRIQUE(S) series tells the story of Africa “through the eyes of the lions” for the first time.
