momondo - The DNA Journey feat. Karen

To celebrate diversity in the world we asked 67 people from all over the world to take a DNA test. It turns out that they have much more in common with other nationalities than they would ever have imagined. In this short film, you can join Karen on her emotional journey into who she really is.

Let’s Open Our World is an invitation to travel across boundaries, embrace our differences and open our world.

momondo believes that everybody should be able to travel the world, to meet other people, and experience other cultures and religions. Travel opens our minds: when we experience something different, we begin to see things differently.

Let’s connect!

The film was shot in Vega, Copenhagen, Denmark, and directed by Jeppe Rønde.

To be 100% African after the history of colonization and rape in war etc. is a rather rare thing which explains her emotional reaction.

[JessieColt]

If we are all out of Africa, then of this group, she represents the purest line of descent from the some of the earliest humans down through today. What a truly beautiful thing to discover!

Black people are so unique. It's difficult to explain how unique we are. Everything on her face is so deep. So powerful. So beautiful. So emotional.
Love my black people.

Karen is beautiful: “I know who I am, East African.” One of the reasons I’ve been terrified of these tests...the history of slavery in my DNA as an African-American...it’s so painful. Karen touches me so much, because she’s so proud & the pain of the many wars in Africa during & post-colonialism. Bravo, Sister!
