Kabuka! is a powerful book written by Educator Mwalimu Baruti that admonishes African heritage people to take an emotional journey to the past to honor our enslaved African ancestors by living vicariously through their slave ship experience. To live through the pain and trauma of being kidnapped, captured, conquered, and enslaved, including the long walk to the oceanfront dungeons to be housed indefinitely, then on to slave ships Baruti describes as 'floating coffins.' Kabuki places you on that slave ship and forces you to experience what our ancestors experienced. It's a painful journey, one that Baruti himself took, and the author is encouraging us all to take it out of respect for the hundreds of millions of enslaved Africans who perished and were forever changed by enslavement.

Producer Chuck Penn provides an overview of the powerful book BAK2. Written by multi-disciplinarian scholar and scientist Tdka Maat Kilimanjaro, BAK2 is a take no prisoner-style historical account of the history of the United States, particularly as it relates to the interface of Europeans with non-Europeans and the wholesale decimation Europeans have visited on the native indigenous people and Africans. He makes a powerful case for re-examining the misleading Western narratives associated with how many Africans lived and died in slavery, while analyzing the dramatic drop in African population as compared to Europe and Asia during the same time period. Dr. Kilimanjaro also points to where the US is the cycle that all empires go through.

Mainstream media coverage of Tanzania's 2025 election was unanimous in portraying it simplistically as a "disputed election" that was marred by violence and a brutal government crackdown.

Conveniently, nearly all mainstream coverage entirely omitted the blatant meddling by multiple foreign actors acting through funded local collaborators who demonstrated 2 terrifying new capabilites - the ability to remotely destabilise a country by weaponising its young people against their own interests, and the deployment of the threat of sanctions after the manufactured crisis to blackmail a government into signing weighted deals that it ordinarily would not agree to.

The implications of this form of foreign interference on basic African sovereignty in the 21st century are immense, which gives this story a significance far beyond the borders of Tanzania.

The Spearhead is proud to present the full, unfiltered, properly contextualised story of what went happened in Tanzania before, during, and after the October 29, 2025 election in this documentary titled 'What Happened On October 29?'
