The Black Candle: A Kwanzaa CelebrationThe Black Candle: A Kwanzaa Celebration
With Maya Angelou narrating, this film tells the story of the African-American experience using the often-misunderstood holiday of Kwanzaa as a jumping off point. Highly, highly recommend for anyone wishing to understand the Black experience.

A true classic. This film shows the effects of slavery around the world, yet doesn't depress you. Instead, this is an uplifting film that takes you to 20 + countries around the African Diaspora.
