France's involvement in Africa goes deeper than colonial history. In this video, we uncover how France maintains its influence over African nations through exploitative practices like the CFA franc currency system, colonial taxes, and their interventions against African leaders who challenge their control. From historical colonization to modern-day economic manipulation, we expose the tactics used to keep African nations under France's grip and the leaders who’ve paid the ultimate price for resisting.

Join us as we explore the dark truth behind France’s power over Africa and the fight for true independence.

Cocoa prices are hitting historic highs, as Western commodities markets are registering deficits of 478,000 tons of cocoa beans.

This is the result of a strategy by West African countries Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two biggest suppliers of cocoa to global markets. Beginning in 2019, they partnered with Chinese firms to process their cocoa in-country, and to sell their product directly to Chinese companies.

By cutting out speculators and traders in Western brokerages, and going around marketing and branding companies in the US and Switzerland, producers in Africa and their buyers in China keep far larger profits for themselves. West African suppliers more than double their exports by grinding their cocoa beans in-country, and Chinese firms realize far higher margins and a guaranteed supply of the world's high-quality processed cocoas.

Kings and queens continue to play an important role in modern-day Africa. Charged with preserving their society's cultures, they remain figureheads for many of Africa's 1.3 billion inhabitants. In this series, the Austrian art historian and photographer Alfred Weidinger journeys to Africa to explore the ancient customs of the African kingdoms. The three-part documentary introduces the viewer to a spectacular unknown world, a world that may soon become a thing of the past.
