First day of class..

I felt that the first day of class was very enlightening. Professor Wachanga is one I think will be very informative as the course goes on. Its nice to be instructed by someone with a very different cultural background and I look forward to hearing the things he has to say. I also look forward to the study of documentaries and how they can be represented in positive and negative ways.

One of the tragic encounters Africa went through was colonialism. It is during this period that Africans were entirely controlled - their entire realm of the language of real life, their mental universe, culture, how they perceive themselves an how they interpret/define their relationship with others.

This image of Africa has been toyed with by filmmakers for decades now.
