This incisive and bold documentary looks at history from an African perspective, examining the problems people of African descent continue to wrestle with today and finding their roots in history. Filmed on location all over the world, this film covers issues from slavery to the civil rights movement, and from colonialism to poverty and broken homes. Expansive, unflinching, and ultimately not unhopeful, 500 YEARS LATER is a no-holds-barred look at centuries of oppression and the ongoing struggle for freedom.
