"Mama Africa"
2002
Directed by Ngozi Onwurah/Bridget Pickering/Zulfah Otto-Sallies

All three English-language, African-made film shorts in this anthology present a universal message of how the promise of youth can be threatened by temptation. In Hangtime (Ngozi Onwurah, Nigeria), a promising basketball star is lured by a gang leader. In Uno's World (Bridget Pickering, South Africa/Nigeria), a single mother foolishly gets involved with a diamond smuggler. Then, a woman struggles to leave her drug-dealing past behind her in Raya (Zulfah Otto-Sallies, South Africa). Talented singer, rapper, and actress Queen Latifah introduces each film. "...well-acted, no-frills films...blunt and challenging..." (Stephen Holden, New York Times).  89 minutes.
