    • Abstract:
      On a cold February morning in 2005, Nelson Mandela stood in front of a packed crowd in London's Trafalgar Square. This light emanates from music pulsating through car radios in Nigeria and Oscar-worthy films from Ghana. And for his feature film debut, Ghana's Samuel "Blitz" Bazawule did just that with Burial of Kojo, which became the country's first movie considered for a Golden Globe. French-Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop also claimed a number of firsts with her flick Atlantics, which won the Grand Prix at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and made Diop the first Black woman to compete for the coveted Palme d'Or.
