The film suggests agroecology as option and necessity for constructing Food Sovereignty, regarding Cuba’s experience as worldwide reference; it makes us think another kind of countryside is possible.

Short Synopsis

Cuban Agroecology arises as a response to food crisis, based on food self-sufficiency values, education,as well as intergenerational and multidisciplinary popular participation of the entire population. Within a global crisis context, this movement today exports ancient wisdom, positioning Cuba as a sustainable and ecological food production leader.

Long synopsis:

After having been prepared for many years,Cuban revolution starts in 1959. The victory of Socialism on the island entails the United States to impose an international economic blockade against Cuba. As a result of this, the economy results in a very fluent exchange with the USSR, mainly of Cuban sugar cane, for almost all basic resources. In 1989, as the USSR collapses, Cuba is left out of supplies. This generated an economy imbalance resulting in food security issues, which left the country in chaos. It is then when Cuban Agroecology arises and develops in response to food crisis, based on food self-sufficiency values, education, as well as intergenerational and multidisciplinary popular participation of the entire population. Within a global crisis context, this movement exports ancient wisdom, positioning Cuba as a sustainable and ecological food production leader.

Director’s Biofilmography

Juan Pablo Lepore was born in the Capital City of Buenos Aires. He studied Image and Sound Design at the University of Buenos Aires. Together with Nicolás van Caloen, he founded Documentary Collective Seeds in 2010 which, in short documentaries format, shows the filming work carried out on different trips, getting to know grassroots social organizations struggling against the capitalist system. He returns to Argentina in 2013 and associates to DOCA (Documentalistas de Argentina (Argentine Documentary Makers)) with a clear vision of contributing to the local documentary scene with the recorded experiences. "Agroecología en Cuba" (Agroecology in Cuba) is his fourth feature film; the previous ones are "Sin Patrón: una revolución permanente" (No boss: a permanent revolution) (2014), "La Jugada del Peón: el agronegocio letal" (The pawn’s move: the deadly agribusiness) (2015) and "Olvídalos y volverán por más: megaminería y neoliberalismo"(Forget about them and they will come for more: mega-mining and neoliberalism) (2016).

"The images show an unusually green and fertile Havana. The interviewees' words, especially the recurrence of certain diminutives, show a respectful, harmonious and loving relationship with the earth."

By María Bertoni for “Espectadores.com.ar”


"The interesting thing about Agroecology in Cuba is that it suggests thinking how this kind of practices could be carried out in other countries dominated by neoliberal policies that impose not only prices, but also the very food that one should consume."

Author, Professor Emeritus - University of the West Indies, Mona

Dr Rupert Lewis is Professor Emeritus of Political Thought in the Department of Government, University of the West Indies, Jamaica.

He is also author of Walter Rodney’s Intellectual and Political Thought and has edited books on George Padmore, the Trinidadian-born Pan-Africanist and Richard Hart, the Jamaican Marxist. He is a member of Jamaica’s

📚 Amy Jaques Garvey, 1896-1973: Black Revolutionary Mothering

Abstract: Interpreting letters written by Amy Jacques Garvey in the 1950s, I discuss her parenting of Marcus Garvey Jnr, an
engineer and scientist, and Dr. Julius Garvey, surgeon, and how she singlehandedly guided their Pan-Africanism. I also discuss the role she played in shaping Marcus Garvey’s legacies in the early stages of African and Caribbean decolonization and extract lessons for Pan-African struggles today.

Whether you're a student, researcher, cultural practitioner, or simply curious about Jamaica’s heritage, this session will deepen your understanding of the African elements that continue to enrich our culture.

⁣Link Up Podcast — Ep 5 | Ft Baba Amn and Mama Nuru (The Ma'At's)
Hosts: Niara Esi Ìjèawelē Ọmọlará Kwento & Bakari Kwadwo Ọbatayé Kwento


Akɔaba, Woezɔ, Oɔbaake (welcome) to another episode of Link Up Podcast, where we connect with Abibifoɔ (Black People) doing Black powerful work across Abibiman (the Black Land) and the diaspora.

In this episode, we Link Up with Baba Amn and Mama Nuru, a specBlackcular couple raised jew york's 1960-70's Black Power era, rooted in Ma'at, and actively building toward repatriation to Ghana. Both came up surrounded by Afros, daishikis, campus protests, and the scholarship of Nana Ben, Nana John Henrik Clarke, and Nana Amos Wilson — and never left the fight. They share a mud cloth hat, a government building greeting, and a shared BlackPowerful circle pulled them back together. We discuss their travels across Abibiman — from occupied Kemet to Ghana to Burkina Faso — their experience on the Sankɔfa Journey, the community ceremonies that marked their spirits, and their commitment to purchasing land in the xmnw Medjay Community. The conversation also moves through the Ghana citizenship discussion, the importance of organized Black community over isolated individual consciousness, Mdw Ntr study, language, and what it means to return home not as tourists but as builders.

* Stay tuned after the conversation for a special animated cartoon episode. *

This is a conversation about raised consciousness becoming raised behavior, Black love as institution, and the work required to bring the whole family Black home.

Our very special guest:

Mama Marimba Ani: Is an Afrikan-Centered Cultural Scientist, engaged in the reconceptualization of the Afrikan Experience from the perspective of Afrikan people and also is known for introducing the term “Maafa” to describe what is known as the Afrikan Holocaust. She served as an SNCC field secretary in the Freedom Summer of 1964 and was later brought to Hunter College in the City University of New York, under the tutelage of Nana Dr. John Henrik Clarke, where she taught for 25 years. A partial list of the courses that she delivered include: Afrikan Civilization; Afrikan Spirituality in the Diaspora; Women in Afrika; Women in the Afrikan Diaspora; Men in the Afrikan Diaspora; Afrikan Spiritual Thought Systems; The Afrikan World View; The Work of Cheikh Anta Diop; The Work of Ayi Kwei Armah; Theories of White Racism.

The hidden meaning behind modern Akan funeral rites in Ghana.
The hidden meaning behind modern Akan funeral rites in Ghana. Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 220 Views • 3 years ago

The hidden meaning behind modern Akan funeral rites in Ghana.

Funeral rites forms an integral part with the culture of the Akan people in Ghana. Like myself, if you grew up within the Ashanti region of Ghana, chances are your parents regularly went away on funeral runs during the weekend, leaving you with numerous household chores that had to be completed by their return.

Though I spent most of my childhood wondering why I had to lose my beloved mother on weekends to funerals, I've come to realize that there are very good important reasons for these funeral rites. So in this video, I share with you some of the hidden meaning behind modern Akan funeral rites in Ghana. I say modern as most of the old traditions has been excluded or modified due to several reasons. My name is Mickey....Keep Watching!!!

Every country has a story; so does its people. I get to travel and visit different parts of the world due to the nature of my work, so I take viewers with me in the form of vlogs to explore and tell beautiful stories of the people and the places that I am working.

I am dedicated to provide deep, meaningful and entertaining contents for you, my viewers....

So enjoy!!!
