slavery has nothing to do with ur shop. U never change

[ghanacc]

why do the whites always prefer to look at Africa from the wrong lens. We dont do that about them. Slavery and shop now as nothing in common. Fine, u dont want to see what u ve back home but dont show things u wouldnt of ur home from Ghana

Very inspiring story. The background music too is very nice. Co-relates to the story very much.

what does slavery have to do with surfing

[BlackStarSurf]

Hi Jamir,

Thanks for your question. As you know, Ghana has a long history of slavery and was the portal for slaves leaving Africa and going to the new world and Europe.

The point of showing the slave fort, which is very near to where the Black Stars surf , is to show the people can overcome their history as surfing has been empowering (the opposite of slavery) to Frankee and some of the other locals. I hope this makes sense :-)

Wow! Of all things to point out on such a poignant documentary.  The film was just giving you a background of the history of the area.

I have watched this video several times and I smile. I think about the old Endless Summer Video, which was somewhat patronizing to the people. This video is much more positive and humanizing. I would like to see how the men who took lessons the first time are doing now. Please upload another video.
