SANKOFA (The Only Authorized DVD) Film by Haile Gerima Mypheduh Films, Inc.
SANKOFA is an Akan word that means, one must return to the past in order to
move forward. Mona, a contemporary model, is possessed by spirits lingering
in the Cape Coast Castle in Ghana and travels to the past, where, as a house
servant called Shola she is constantly abused by the slave master. Nunu, an
African-born field hand, and Shango, Sholas West Indian Lover, continuously
rebel against the slave system. For Nunu this means direct conflict with her
son, a mulatto benefitting from the system as a head slave. Inspired by Nunu
and Shangos determination to defy the system, Shola finally takes her fate
into her own hands.
