Date and time
Location
Online event
The official online Question & Answer session for the 5-star rated, educational film, Vodou: Theology of Liberation.
About this event
On the 22nd of August 2021, the film Vodou: Theology of Liberation was released to critical acclaim and 5-star reviews. Described as 'an essential learning resource and novel exploration of the Haitian Revolution and the principles that inspired it' , this film has put the theme of social justice firmly back on the map.
This most significant of Revolutions remains one of the most under-studied and explored even as its impact has been global and far-reaching, inspiring the conceptualisation and development of systems such as communism and socialism, as Haiti was the first nation in the Western Hemisphere to be founded on Egalitarian principles.
This online event is part of the regular themed official Q&A events for the film bringing together the director, Dalian Adofo and two of the essential cast members; Queen Mother Dowoti Deésìr and Professor Bayyinah Bello. For this special edition, we will be joined by the renowned psychologist and activist, Baba Dr Wade Nobles!
They will share a wealth of information of African/Black historical narratives, Pan-Africanism and the role of our Sacred Sciences in aiding and restoring communities globally; lessons for Leadership that we can glean from the Haitian Revolution to utilise today!
All registrants will be sent details to the live event within 7 days before it goes live, regardless of whether a contribution/donation is made.
We do urge all to donate where possible, as all proceeds from this event is being shared with Fondyason Felicitee (Ayiti) and The AfroAtlantic Theologies & Treaties Institute of Benin, who are doing excellent work on the ground for the most vulnerable, with little to no budget available.
No amount you can donate is considered too small or insignificant; all is warmly received and fully appreciated. We thank you in advance!
