Promo: Why Every Black Person Should Care About What Happens in Haiti w. Bijoux Noir
An indepth history of Nigeria.
This video offers an explanation of the locus of the temporal universe according to the Kôngo religion.
It proves the temporal universe is situated in a clockwise rotating black hole from which it emerges progressively by rotating counterclockwise.
The ideas exposed in this video have been inspired by our book titled BUKÔNGO and available here:

The purpose of this documentary is to re-examine the understanding of the origins of Capoeira. I believe it is important to see Capoeira as a cultural practice that is a combination of various cultural practices that were already practiced by peoples in Angola and they continued these practices in Brazil as a from of cultural expression. I believe viewing Capoeira solely as a from of "resistance" reinforces negative and misleading ideas that African people have no history or culture of their own, and that they simply created cultural practices as a form of "resistance" or "revolt" against their oppressors. It is very important be knowledgeable about the true history of Africa and its people.
Filmed in 2016 with an iPhone 6 in Salvador and Itaparica Island in Bahia, Brazil. This is the first draft of the documentary and I hope to add the additional interviews for a more complete version. Production was funded by the Theory-to-Practice grant program at Ohio Wesleyan University. Logistical support was provided by Brazil Cultural. Translation by Rubens da Costa Silva.
