ESOTERIC AFRICAN KNOWLEDGE

SYNOPSIS

Ancestral Voices: Esoteric African Knowledge (Digital Stream)

Avant-garde at its time of release, it is the first film to bring to the mainstream discourse, the still taboo and marginalized topic of African Spirituality. It opens up the discourse on why African spiritual systems remain demonized whilst other spiritual systems are revered the world over. Using comparative analyses, it explores tenets (ideas/concepts) found across the various religious and spiritual systems; including the Abrahamic Faiths, Hinduism and Buddhism, to show the vast areas of overlap and commonality that are largely ignored.

It ultimately poses the question to the viewer that if they are so similar in framework and ideas, then what is the yardstick used to still maintain that African Spirituality is all evil and negative?

It also covers the impact of the media and colonialism in presenting a distorted view of it that does not foster an accurate understanding or perception of it.

This educational documentary explores the breath of African Indigenous Spiritual systems, correlating and expounding on the shared philosophies and practices throughout Africa and the Diaspora.

Both Ancestral Voices documentaries, the Spirit is Eternal book, plus bonus items. Providing a comprehensive understanding of African philosophies across a range of continental and diasporic traditions.
