Narrated by Maya Angelou and directed by M.K. Asante, Jr., The Black Candle is a landmark, vibrant documentary that uses Kwanzaa as a vehicle to explore and celebrate the African-American experience.

A film by award-winning author and filmmaker M.K. Asante, Jr., The Black Candle is an extraordinary, inspirational story about the struggle and triumph of African-American family, community, and culture.

Filmed across the United States, Africa, Europe and the Caribbean, The Black Candle is a timely illumination on why the seven principles of Kwanzaa (unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith) are so important to African-Americans today.

The first feature film on Kwanzaa, The Black Candle traces the holidays growth out of the Black Power Movement in the 1960s to its present-day reality as a global, pan-African holiday embraced by over 40 million celebrants.

With vivid cinematography and an all star cast that features the best and brightest from the hip-hop and the civil rights generations, The Black Candle is more than a film about a holiday: its a celebration of a people!

I don't know how I feel about KWANZAA but I do know that the guy who is given credit for creating it, Ron Karenga was a subversive plant of the FBI and the CIA in the Bay area whose job was to make the Panthers look radical & racist. He started another panther group that would be violent and the subverted the panther movement. I think he was part of the who had the two panthers killed ay UCLA. The new world order people put he up to this & his reward was this KWANZAA thing. He is very dirty

I hear what you saying "theagent9" but the things you mentioned do not negate the need for:

Unity

Self-Determination

Collective Work and Responsibility

Cooperative Economics

Purpose

Creativity

and Faith

Also many black people have been "not so righteous" in the past. I haven't heard of ONE black leader or public figure that wasn't "in bed with the enemy" at some point in time. From The MLK situation to the Malcolm X situation, Farrakan, Even the Panthers themselves, hell what about the brothers and sisters in AFRICA that helped SEND US HERE!?!

We must take the POSITIVE ASPECTS of our historical progression in this country and use them to build the FUTRUE we want to see. Peace!

@CSECREST2 for a revolution to happen we need to get rid of the uncle toms,house negros,and aunt jemimahs..and people of color need to stop looking up to the euro idiots becuz at the end of the day and tiger woods is a great and recent example no matter how much u want to assimilate with them they`re still looking to hang your ass as soon as you start to slip or if they want a new darky in their corner

[ResurrectingYourSpir]

The Truth is that Kwanza is not an African Celebration it is ESOTERIC and there is hidden secret science it is a Satanic Ritual and in West Africa it never existed. KENYA East Africa, they never went through Slavery acroos the Americas or Caribbean. The thrut it is Black Araba traditions. and it was originally brought to this country by an African America who got involved into MOOTI. you can ask any black Araba from the East Africa and they will tell you leave it alone it is not of God.

Agie55 you are beautiful in your thinking makes he proud to be human!

[sosoblessed1]

this is beautiful. very informative. I love Maya Angelou's voice. "a statement about a people" I like that.

be blessed

Very true, it was blacks who sold slaves to the europeans and black leaders have sold out at some stage, but continue to build bro, hopefully helping to dis-engage the youth from the brainwashing media that uses alot of artist to corrupt the youth making them think they are gansters and dope dealers. Then half of them get caught with peanuts and end up serving 10+ years. Its a dam shame!

[agie55]

Let us not forget other great civilisations like Timbuktu, they are now finding proof of how great they were. The problem that Blacks face, is that we are not taught our history in Western Schools we are told about the slave trade which is White brutality. Great footage again, keep it up!

You are wrong again. Christianity did not come from the Egyptians, it came from the Hebrews in Ethiopia, the culture of the Nile Valley which was a greater & older civilisation that the Egyptian. They ruled Egypt. This is why ark of the covenant and some text found on the Pyramids are similar to the bible and u may need to match it 4 a complete bible. The Egyptians copied only what they wanted and mixed with sun rubbishing etc. Europe copy it & claimed its theres from Khazars/fake jews

[muffinman5323]

@kevine316 are u surprised that they even aired bullshit like that?euro clown logic affects everyone

[kevine316]

I did not enough space 2 type. The reason why Channel 4 was funny, disgusting and racist is because the Turkish looks nothing like the Pharohs who has black racial features and were black. Their culture were part of the Ethiopian civilisation, the culture of the Nile Valley which was superior in development than the rest of Africa. Thats why the Egyptian book of the dead being used by atheist to confuse us, it has elements of christianity which they got from the Ethiopians who birth Judaism
