understand Africa's complex political situations, addressing
the 'Big Man' syndrome and the one-party state, the
destabilizing effects of armed conflict, the mismanagement of
industry and natural resources, and strained relations with the

A series of films on traditional art. Philip Haas has spent the
last decade making films with some of the most acclaimed
artists working today including David Hockney, Boyd Webb,
Richard Long and Gilbert & George. With his series, Magicians
of the Earth, Haas turned his attention to native artists
working in traditional forms. These four films were
photographed entirely on location in Australia, Madagascar,
Papua New Guinea, Senegal and Benin and Feature music composed
by David Byrne and Gambian musician Foday Musa Suso. These
films use sparse narration, letting the audience discover for
itself the magical transformation of the raw materials into
wondrous art. By finding the "theatricality" in each artist,
Haas constantly surprises and delights the viewer - his films
are always fresh, unexpected and visually thrilling.

and Tutsi. This film follows the first steps in one of the

Tribunals. These are a form of citizen-based justice based on

Episode 1: The story of Lucy. In 1974, Johanson unearthed Lucy,
at almost 3 million years of age, our oldest human ancestor.
Lucy's tiny three-and-a-half-foot skeleton set the world of
paleoanthropology on its ear. Lucy walked upright and it was
proven that a larger brain was the key difference between early
man and the ape. Episode 2: Surviving in Africa. Johanson sets
out to disprove the long-cherished view that early man's larger
brain and reliance on technology are the by-products of the
ability to hunt. He embarks on a journey across the Serengeti
savanna of East Africa in search of food. He finds it- not by
hunting but by scavenging off the leftovers of lions and
leopards. Episode 3: The creative revolution. Fifty thousand
years ago, a dramatic change swept through the hunter-gatherers
then living in Africa. They began to paint, carve, talk, bury
their dead, travel and trade. What accounts for this sudden
transformation? This question continues to be at the heart of
heated debates.

A documentary film of the life a Khoikhoi woman who was taken
from South Africa in 1810 and exhibited as a freak across
Britain. The image and ideas for "The Hottentot Venus"
(particularly the interest in her sexual anatomy) swept through
British popular culture. A court battle waged by abolitionists
to free her from her exhibitors failed. In 1814, a year before
her death, she was taken to France and became the object of
scientific research that formed the bedrock of European ideas
about black female sexuality.

For over forty years, South Africa was governed by the most
notorious form of racial domination since Nazi Germany. When it
finally collapsed, those who had enforced apartheid's rule
wanted amnesty for their crimes. Their victims wanted justice.
As a compromise, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)
was formed. As it investigated the crimes of apartheid, the
Commission brought together victims and perpetrators to relive
South Africa's brutal history. By revealing the past instead of
burying it, the TRC hoped to pave the way to a peaceful future.

A docudrama based on the book, The Interesting Narrative of the
Life of Oloudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vaasa the African, which
was the first influential slave autobiography. When it was
published in 1789, it fueled a growing anti-slavery movement in
the U.S. and England. This production employs dramatic
reconstruction, archival material and interviews with scholars.
Equiano's narrative begins in the West African village where he
was kidnapped into slavery in 1756. He was shipped to a
Virginia plantation and then later sold again to a British
naval officer. Here he learned to read and write, became a
skilled trader, eventually bought his freedom and married into
English society where he became a leading abolitionist.
