Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Some African Americans have taken up the initiative and moved to the continent to start a new life in the home of their ancestors. Will exploring the memories of a painful past help them to reconnect with their family roots? (Image: A woman observes fishermen tending to their boats on the shores of Cape Coast Castle.
