Ancestral Voices: Esoteric African Knowledge Trailer

Ancestral Voices: Esoteric African Knowledge

Avant-garde at its time of release, it is the first film to bring to the mainstream discourse, the still taboo and marginalized topic of African Spirituality. It would consequently pave the way for the vast range of films now being released about the topic such as Djimon Hounsou’s ‘In Search of Voodoo: Roots to Heaven’ (2017) and the Danny Glover backed Brazilian film on the Orisha traditions ‘Summer of the Gods’ (2014)

It opens up the discourse on why African spiritual systems remain demonized whilst other spiritual systems are revered the world over. Using comparative analyses, it explores tenets (ideas/concepts) found across the various religious and spiritual systems; including the Abrahamic Faiths, Hinduism and Buddhism, to show the vast areas of overlap and commonality that are largely ignored.

It ultimately poses the question to the viewer that if they are so similar in framework and ideas, then what is the yardstick used to still maintain that African Spirituality is all evil and negative?
It also covers the impact of the media and colonialism in presenting a distorted view of it that does not foster an accurate understanding or perception of it.

Please continue to add information to this page!!! It is important to continue teaching the people especially those in the diaspora who would have forgotten due to slavery and colonization.

Those who don't understand are the ones who TALK when they should who do understand will LISTEN to each idea accordingly, before they make up their OWN MIND....

This looks like there is going to finally be a comprehensive, thorough and intelligent discussion on ancient African spiritual belief systems. I definitely will purchase. Those of us who are open and aware of the truth will appreciate the dialogue. Those of us who are brainwashed and crystalized into the Euro-centric Christian belief systems will stay locked in solid due to the fact that there have been very clever "programming" embedded into the doctrines and preachings as "fail safes." (i.e. Fear of not going to heaven, fear of the devil, fear of even God." For me it will be refreshing as this documentary will give voice to much of what has not been yet presented regarding the ancient systems.

As the Sun rises each day and will never be married to dawn,  This thing is clearly understood,  which is why it is suppressed. Truth be told all religious leaders visit to the motherland, the continent of Africa and more specific to Ile Ife. It is the source of all that is true.
