I truly appreciate the research and filmography that went into this production. As an educator, I have added this to my curriculum. I would like to purchase more of these and give them as gifts or even sell them as a vendor. Also, I would like to know why no mention in the film anywhere was there about the very first Kwanzaa, the gathering of a people movie by Abiodune Khalik (Phyllip Harris). This film was aired on TV and I still have the VHS copy. In fact Phylip Harris is still in Philadelphia alive and well and still trying to sell HIS movie. I would hope that as professionals and BROTHERS some kind of recognition and honorable mention could have been a part of the movie, sorry to correct his name, Phillip Harris. This man never got the recognition he deserved. People in the movement shunned him out of jelousy. Now the second Kwanzaa movie, The Black Candle that is dealing with the develoment of Kwanzaa does not even mention the first Kwanzaa movie which was truly one of the reasons why Kwanzaa spread throughout the city AND the nation. Keep up the good work but do not forget or ignore the previous genius that went into making Kwanzaa as popular as it has become. Both movies are my favorites and are now a part of my curriculum Thankyou so much for this vital movie. I truly appreciate the research and filmography that went into this production.
