THE MAN WHO WOULD BE PRESIDENT RETURNS TO HIS AFRICAN ROOTSBarack Obama
returns to his family's roots on an emotional journey to Kisumu, Kenya - land of
his father - in this new documentary.Part personal odyssey and part chronicle of
diplomacy in action, this timely documentary follows Senator Barack Obama as he
travels to the land of his ancestry. From South Africa to Kenya to a Darfur
refugee camp in Chad, Obama explores the vast continent that is gaining
increasing importance in this age of globalization.The heart of the film is
Obama's emotional homecoming to Kisumu, Kenya - his father's former home - where
thousands of people turn out to greet him. In South Africa, we follow Senator
Obama on a trip to Robben Island - the infamous prison where Nelson Mandela was
jailed for 21 years. At a Darfur refugee camp in Chad, we see, through Obama's
eyes, the devastating effects of genocide.Throughout it all, Senator Obama
narrates the film, giving his own perspective on the journey and the
significance of Africa to U.S. interests.After the screening, there will be a
chance to talk with other Obama enthusiasts, possibly even in the sunshine. Come
along and bring friends!!
