Aláàló (Someone has a Story) - Full Movie

'Aláàló (Someone has a Story)': a short movie directed by David Adeogun, about the African experience in the Western world.
What do you guys think is the rationale behind some of us belittling/making fun of Africans when they come to the US, Europe, etc.?

Adeogun says: "This film is based on several true stories. It documents an honest exploration of African culture, storytelling, technique, and subject matter in a predominantly Western World. The characters serve as their real life counterparts as well as their story counterparts to illicit an allegorical, proverbial, and metaphysical experience. Utilizing unique African storytelling techniques, the dream-like narrative travels through the themes of identity, culture, and connection while touching on universal themes that can give everyone, regardless of culture, a unique experience. Film can transcend entertainment, and become a mirror for the experience of truth. Thank you for watching."

Malcolm X had spelled it out years ago: 'We have all been bamboozled (white-washed/brain-washed/mind controlled) into foolishly believing/following an agenda that is ignorant, fear filled, destructive, disrespectful of anything of real substance/power.

And ironically as we waste all our energy and time (our lives) contributing to this empty agenda, our real purpose and power is squandered/dormant, and Africa continues to be plundered and pillaged by trespassers who pretend that they are there trying to help, when in fact they are only there to steal the natural resources (which is our inherent wealth), and destroy/lie about all evidence of our true superiority and accomplishments to progressing civilizations, throughout time.
