This documentary does make for some interestings insights into what or who is “African” and who is not. The use of the term “African” as distinct from “Egyptian” can be controversial. This adds an extra twist to the entire documentary and forces us to question certain long beliefs about the past and the extent to which the term “African” and “Nubian” can be applied.
Puting the controversy around the use of terminology aside, this is an informative, insightful and well presented documentary that is worth seeing.
