Mahama boldly criticized the dogmatism and bureaucratic inaction of the UN, calling for a more responsive and people-centered approach to peace and development. He urged world leaders to move beyond speeches and pledges, and instead embrace genuine cooperation, justice, and compassion in solving global crises. His candid remarks struck a chord with delegates and viewers worldwide, sparking both debate and admiration.

Film based on a djeli telling of Sundiata Keita

⁣tells an amazing scholarly detective story that searches for -and finds- meaningful links between African Americans and their ancestral past. It bridges hundreds of years and thousands of miles from the Gullah people of present-day Georgia back to 18th century Sierra Leone. It recounts the even more remarkable saga of how African Americans have retained links with their African past through the horrors of the middle passage, slavery and segregation. The film dramatically demonstrates the contribution of contemporary scholarship to restoring what narrator Vertamae Grosvenor calls the "non-history" imposed on African Americans: "This is a story of memory, how the memory of a family was pieced together through a song with legendary powers to connect those who sang it with their roots."
