In his six-hour series, Africa's Great Civilizations, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. takes a new look at the history of Africa, from the birth of humankind to the dawn of the 20th century. This is a breathtaking and personal journey through two hundred thousand years of history, from the origins, on the African continent, of art, writing, and civilization itself, through the millennia in which Africa and Africans shaped not only their own rich civilizations, but also the wider world. Professor Gates travels the length and breadth of Africa to chronicle the continent's history from a firmly African perspective. His journey takes him from the city of Great Zimbabwe, to the pyramids of Meroe, and the spectacular rock-hewn churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia. The epic story that he tells is full of surprises and unexpected connections, helping us to appreciate the collective and individual genius of Africans who, across thousands of years, built civilizations and empires, fought wars, established great cities, furthered and spread learning, and created some of the most sublime art and architecture in human history.In this episode, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. explores the dynamism of 19th century Africa, the “Scramble” by European powers for its riches, and the defiant and successful stand of uncolonized Ethiopia.

The East-West Highway was soon to be built in central Taiwan. It would pass through the village of Liu Ts'o, and many homes and rice paddies would be destroyed. The film maker Hu Tai-Li went back to her mother-in-law's village Liu Ts'o, where she did anthropological research from 1976-78, to preserve some images of life forever. This film was shot in a natural and intimate climate. During the annual two harvests, various activities in daily life and festivals were presented in the film reflecting the villagers' attitudes towards gods, ghosts, ancestors, women, farmlands, urbanization, industrialization, reclamation and resettlement. The film maker attempted to reveal the Taiwanese way of facing drastic social changes. In this unusual film—the first Taiwanese documentary to achieve commercial Success—we are treated to a series of affectionate vignettes of life in filmmaker Hu Tai-Li’s mother-in-law’s village before large portions of it are destroyed to make way for the new East-West hightway.

Wine has been made in the Western Cape region of South Africa for over 300 years. At first, slaves and indigenous Khoisan worked the vineyards owned by white European settlers. Classified as 'Coloureds,' the descendants of these laborers have continued to work these vineyards for generations. Until recently, they could not own the houses they lived in, and were paid for their labor partly in alcohol. This instituted form of abuse – called the dop system – was designed by wine farm owners to encourage alcohol dependency in their workers so that they would not leave the farm to look for work elsewhere. Wine has been made in the Western Cape region of South Africa for over 300 years. At first, slaves and indigenous Khoisan worked the vineyards owned by white European settlers, and the descendants of these laborers have continued to work these vineyards for generations. Until recently, laborers could not own their houses, and were paid for their labor partly in alcohol. This exploitation – called the dop system – was designed by wine farm owners to encourage alcohol dependency in their workers so that they would not leave the farm to look for work elsewhere. This film focuses on two wine farms where “empowerment” projects have recently been started in response to calls for change. The wine farm workers receive part of the profits from the sale of “empowerment” brand wine Winds of Change. They have used this money to buy their own houses and shares in the wine farm business. On the surface, these “empowerment” projects seem to be a radical departure from the abusive, paternalistic labor relationship between farm owners and workers that has existed for so long. But the legacy of centuries of abuse cannot be eradicated overnight. The film tells an optimistic – but realistic – story about life and change in the new South Africa.

"I hope that I will be remembered as someone who prevented civil war- this, for me, is more important than having been the supreme commander of the underground movement, Prime Minister, the peace treaty with Egypt.” Today, when public image outweighs ideology, Menahem Begin's integrity, modest life style and commitment to principles, stand out. He was defeated in 8 election campaigns, after he offered an ideological alternative to the ruling Labor Party, yet he achieved the impossible and won the elections of '77. He started out with the historic peace agreement with Egypt, and ended with the quagmire of the Lebanese war, withdrawn into the confinement of his home.

Stakes are high but in spite of the seriousness of the negotiations, they turn out to be surprisingly funny and carried out with style and charm by these three fantastic characters. It's the last territorial conflict of Europe and it's crucial for the EU to prove its ability to make peace in its own backyard. This is diplomacy behind the scenes.

Aimé Césaire, né en 1913 à Basse-Pointe, rejoint Paris dans l'entre-deux-guerres pour y faire ses études. C'est à cette époque que le jeune Antillais comprend l'importance de parler d'une conscience noire et d'un nationalisme culturel qui unit les hommes. Puis l'écrivain, inventeur du concept de négritude, rejoint son île aux prémices du conflit mondial pour y enseigner les lettres. A la fin de la guerre, porté par l'espoir d'un changement, Césaire, fervent anticolonialiste, est happé par la politique et devient député du Parti communiste avant de fonder le Parti progressiste martiniquais (PPM). Il conservera son mandat jusqu'en 1993. A travers des séquences de fiction et des images d'archives, retour sur le parcours paradoxal de Césaire, entre l'engagement visionnaire humaniste du poète et le combat difficile du politicien. "Un film personnel, écrit et réalisé avec conviction." (TELERAMA)
Aimé Césaire, born in 1913 in Basse-Pointe, joined Paris in the inter-war period to study there. It was at this time that the young West Indian understood the importance of talking about a black conscience and a cultural nationalism that united men. Then the writer, inventor of the concept of blackness, joined his island at the beginnings of the world conflict to teach letters. At the end of the war, carried by the hope of a change, Césaire, fervent anti-colonialist, is caught up in politics and becomes deputy of the Communist Party before founding the Progressive Party of Martinique (PPM). He will retain his mandate until 1993. Through fiction sequences and archive footage, we return to the paradoxical journey of Césaire, between the humanist visionary commitment of the poet and the difficult battle of the politician. "A personal film, written and produced with conviction." (TELERAMA)
