I frequently watch Tariq Nasheed on YouTube and unlike my sisters, I like him a lot. I often found myself saying 'eh?' The way the segments jumped around from past to present without any coherent link or sometimes context, was confusing. It was way too long and would have benefited from a narrator and tighter editing. Not the CONTENT itself, I'm referring to the way it was structured and how the segments were edited together. Actually it was one of the worst I've ever seen. I love African history so this should have worked for me. Documentaries by black scholars are my favourite thing and I've watched many. As an African woman who was born and raised in Edinburgh, but now live in London, I'm enthusiastic about acquiring more and more knowledge about ANYTHING black, especially POSITIVE information. There was lots of stimulating and interesting discoveries but the talking heads and melodramatic music with the underlying (black people are good and white people are bad) subtext got annoying after a while. Unfortunately, the format didn't work for me. I really wanted to enjoy this documentary as it was highly recommended.
