Senator Obama Goes to Africa
Documentary
Part personal odyssey and part chronicle of diplomacy in action, this timely film follows Senator Barack Obama as he travels to Africa, the land of his ancestry. In South Africa, Obama visits Robben Island, the home of 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. The heart of the film is an emotional homecoming to Kisumu, Kenya - land of his father - where thousands turn out to greet him.
