MOTHERLAND -A film by Owen Alik Shahadah (Jacob Zuma, Meles Zenawi, Ali Mazrui)

http://www.themotherland.info
Motherland is a breathtaking passage, which sweeps the continent of Africa. With an all-star cast, it is a vivid cinematic centrepiece washed with an African aesthetic. A bold empowering sophisticated story of Africa, which in progressive dignity reaffirming terms looks at Africa's past, present and future. Motherland is an epic and unprecedented entry into the canon of African-owned cinema, which charts the glory and majesty of the Motherland (Enat Hager). Motherland is a film that unapologetically calls for African unity, self-determination and the African rebirth. From the acclaimed producers of the multi-award winning 500 Years Later , Motherland is Directed by Owen 'Alik Shahadah. Motherland has been in the making since 2004 and is expected early 2009. Filmed in Ethiopia, SOuth Africa and many other African Countries.

why did halaqah media stop making politcal audio and focus solely on african themes?

[Ocacia]

Maybe because that is where the battle is. I think Motherland is pretty political. And word is Muslim communities didnt support the products post 911. So they evolved 2 reach a wider audience and audience that doesnt copy and rapidshare all their hard work.

why is babykiller banda leba Zenawi in this film? And that opportunistic virus the royal mercenary Mulugeta! Who chose these animals to be in a film about African problems? THEY ARE THE PROBLEM! Shame on you OwenalikShehada!! Plz go to your splicing room at once and expunge these servants of evil from your film. no doubt we will delete them from our destiny that they aim to destroy! cant you see them sucking our blood, killing our freedom and peace? meles is maiming OUR MOTHERLAND!

How about you stop stealing africa resources which are not yours.

[PeaceZoneEmpowerment]

Africa is a continent comprised of a billion+ people; 54 countries having numerous indigenous tribes and African peoples with skin complexions from albino to ebony. Any analysis of the problems of the continent must focus on the individual countries; indigenous peoples and the political-socio-economic problems they face. It is a serious mistake to speak in terms of the continent and not in terms of the individual countries and peoples within these countries. One shoe does not fit all!

@Greggybread yes, you can say that but do you know in 1935 Mussolini attacked Ethiopian in revenge of 1896. Ethiopia was recovered and doing very well but they said before they are succeeding we better destroyed them and burnt ancient library full ancient Scripture and looted.
