Egypt's Nubian minority were forced from their ancestral land in the Central Nile valley in the 1960s, as General Gamal Abdel Nasser embarked on a project of major public works. The experience left deep scars on a people who, to this day, continue to fight to be allowed to return to land they say is rightfully theirs. Claire Williot and Edouard Dropsy report.

In this 'lost" speech, King follows up his powerful Beyond Vietnam speech with a intellectually moving plea to his nation to embrace peace, both domestically and internationally. Those familiar with King's Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance speech may find themselves moved by the complex interweaving narrative he drew from it and incorporate here - his brilliant use of Greek mythology and metaphor to entice proper "grown up" actions from America, will undoubtedly make this speech one of your favorite.

If you appreciate this speech, please contact the King Center in Atlanta, GA, and ask them to release all of King's speeches for public consumption. Currently there are several dozen audio and video recordings of unknown and known speeches, sermon's and lectures which have not seen the light of day yet.

CABRALISTA FOCUSES ON A. CABRAL'S LEGACY AND THE BIRTH OF THE "CABRALIST" MOVEMENT IN UPRISING AFRICA

Synopsis

The Movie is a 2011 documentary film by Valerio Lopes. It asserts a number of theory-based ideas born around Amilcar Cabral and the independents and human rights movements he led mainly in the 1960'ies.

Amílcar Cabral was a Guinea-Bissauan leader, writer, freedom fighter and politician, he was assassinated in 1973.

"Cabralista" reflects the collective memory, how this revolutionary theoretician whose influence reverberated far beyond the African continent is remembered. With never released voice recordings, humanist citations and quotes, timeless footage and cultured visual effects, this film is a unique vision of Africa yesterday and today.

From the first audience granted to an african freedom fighter by the pope Paul VI to Amílcar Cabral in 1970; to his speaking in front of the United Nations security council again as the first defender of African Independence, Cabral's unique work is remembered in this film by young African and Pan-African scholars filmed in Cape Verde, Libya, Portugal, Guinea Bissau ...

...

Inspired and artistically designed with the fantastic Opus of Amilcar Cabral in mind, the goal of this documentary is to put his theories and ideas in the spotlight. Comparing his work with actual cultural and social issues, like the foreseen north-african revolutions, the countries who helped Cabral in his struggle are identified in this movie by Amilcar Cabral's words that seemed to predict the actual facts.

The goal of this movie is to spread Cabral's words ...

... and wisdom and support the cabralist concept of re-africanisation of the spirit, recognised all around the world as a pillar of african emancipation.

Underlined with musical compositions that put the audience into a unique african atmosphere and supported by his own graphical look.
This 52 minutes long film is a mirror of African humanism and socio-cultural evolution and progress.
