In Haiti, the machete is both a weapon and a farmer’s key to survival. This dichotomy is especially true for Alfred Avril, a master machete fencer and subsistence farmer. The traditional art of machete fencing can be traced back to the Haitian Revolution. With fewer guns than the soldiers they were battling, many slaves fought with the machetes they had used to toil the sugarcane fields. In this short film from Third Horizon, Avril shares his mysterious craft as well as the practical and spiritual value of the machete throughout Haitian history.

Brought to you by Vodou: Theology Of Liberation https://bit.ly/3wHMhkK

This film is about the Cosmological principles enshrined in Haitian Vodou as a syncretic theology rooted in West Africa and how it shapes the perspectives and worldview of its practitioners, shedding light on why it was the essential ideological foundation off which the first Black Republic in the Western Hemisphere was founded.

It throws light on its fundamental tenets and concepts to illustrate how it afforded the galvanization and organization of enslaved Africans of different backgrounds spiritually, socially, politically, and militarily to secure the most incredible victory ever recorded in Modern times; the sole example to date of successful revolutionary Pan-Africanism in action.

It also explores the stigmatization of Vodou through the memetic constructions attributed to the label Voodoo and its fear-mongering depictions in the Media. It explores Vodou theology as a sacred science of Nature and the positive impact it holds for practitioners and Afrofuturism.

Barbadian Shamere Pinder talks about her experiences working on UK farms

In honour of the life of Glen Ford who passed away July 2021, I humbly share a interaction I was blessed to have with this stalwart of Black Radical Journalism.

Brother Garfield Reid visited the legendary Speakers Corner during his visit to London UK & Brother Isa the Blacktellect was on hand to challenge him on the findings of his new book, "Misconceptions & Misinformation of the Black Hebrew Israelites".

Here's how it went down.
