Motherland (Enat Hager) is a bold, epic documentary through Africa with a distinctive African voice. Fusing history, culture, politics, Motherland sweeps across Africa to tell a new dynamic story of a continent. From the glory and majesty of Africa’s past through its complex and present history. Motherland looks unflinchingly toward a positive Pan-African future. With breathtaking cinematography and a fluid soundtrack sculpted by Sona Jobarteh.
Motherland is a beautiful vision of global African diversity and unity.
From the multi-award winning producers of the acclaimed documentary 500 Years Later, Motherland is directed by Owen ‘Alik Shahadah and produced by M.K. Asante, Jr. Motherland is the first African production to traverse the diverse history and rich culture of the African continent to examine the challenges of Africa.
