WHY IS WE AMERICANS? weighs in on Newark’s struggle against oppression through the personal triumphs and tragedies of the Baraka family -- from Amiri’s civil rights leadership and ultimate artistic marginalization, to the horrific murder of his sister, Kimako, through the homicide of daughter Shani (one of the first openly gay black activists) to the historic election of Ras Baraka as mayor of Newark, NJ. And through it all, it is the matriarch, Amina Baraka, who emerges as story’s lode star and moral compass. Spanning decades of social activism, poetry, music, art, and politics, this kaleidoscopic family saga is framed by on-camera interviews with Ms. Lauryn Hill, rare archival footage and revealing personal testimonials. As we connect with the iconoclastic poet Amiri Baraka, his wife, Amina, and their son, Ras, a portrait of a city emerges with an inspiring call to arms in the fight for class and racial justice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Film Movement","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41912523358408,"sku":"FM00171","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/products\/whyisweamericansdvd.jpg?v=1653100210"},{"product_id":"def-by-temptation-blu-ray","title":"Def By Temptation (BLU-RAY)","description":"\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PVlpNkcCGRc\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003eA succubus is preying on libidinous black men in NYC.

From 1946 when he made his first film in Niger, until his death in 2004, Rouch made more than 100 films, most on African subjects, including the seven which are the focus of this boxed-set. Beginning in 1955 with his most controversial film THE MAD MASTERS (Les Maîtres fous), through 1969 s darkly comic LITTLE BY LITTLE, these films represent the most sustained flourishing of Rouch s practice of shared anthropology, a process of collaboration with his subjects.
