Youth, Race & Cultural Identity 
In Europe Today

Designed to support teaching in African Studies, European Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Education, Youth Studies, Cultural Studies, Religious Studies, Film and Media Studies, Migration Studies, and related disciplines, this three-film collection explores how young people of African and immigrant backgrounds navigate identity, race, religion, family, and belonging in contemporary Europe. Set in Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom, these award-winning dramas examine the pressures facing young people as they confront discrimination, cultural expectations, radicalization, and the search for their place within increasingly diverse European societies.

The collection includes:

• Amal (Belgium)
• Fevers (France)
• Brides (United Kingdom)

Amal follows a courageous literature teacher in Brussels who encourages her students to think critically and express themselves freely despite mounting pressure from religious extremism within her school community. As she challenges intolerance and defends freedom of expression, the film explores the complex intersections of education, identity, secularism, and multiculturalism in contemporary Belgium. 

Fevers centers on Benjamin, a troubled thirteen-year-old who leaves foster care to live with the father he has never known in a working-class suburb of Paris. As tensions within the family grow, the film explores adolescence, masculinity, family relationships, immigrant communities, and the search for identity within contemporary France. 

Brides tells the story of two British Muslim teenagers who leave the United Kingdom for Syria after feeling increasingly isolated by racism, exclusion, and online extremist propaganda. Inspired by real events, the film examines adolescent vulnerability, friendship, identity formation, and the consequences of alienation while challenging simplistic narratives about radicalization. 

Together, these films offer a compelling framework for examining the lived experiences of immigrant and minority youth in Europe today. They encourage critical discussion of race, identity, education, religion, family, citizenship, social exclusion, radicalization, cultural integration, and the challenges of growing up between multiple cultures. Ideal for classroom use, the collection provides valuable perspectives on the evolving realities of multicultural and multiracial Europe.

• Susana Baca: Memoria Viva
• The Valley of Black Descendants (El Valle de los Negros)

Susana Baca: Memoria Viva profiles the internationally acclaimed singer and champion of Afro-Peruvian heritage. Through her music and her work with the Instituto Negrocontinuo, founded with her husband Ricardo Pereira, the film celebrates the preservation, exploration, and continued creation of Black Peruvian culture.

The Valley of Black Descendants (El Valle de los Negros) follows descendants of enslaved Africans in Chile’s Azapa Valley as they organize the first African census in the country’s history. Their campaign seeks official recognition from a state that concealed their African identity and culture for more than two centuries.

The Esmeraldas Beach addresses the historical invisibility of Afro-Ecuadorians and challenges incomplete narratives of Ecuador’s national history. Centered on the work of Juan García, the documentary highlights a community’s efforts to preserve its culture and transmit the rebellious memory of ancestors who fought for freedom.

Together, these documentaries explore how Afro-descendant communities preserve cultural memory while confronting historical erasure and exclusion. The collection provides an engaging framework for classroom discussion of African cultural retention, identity, music, enslavement, resistance, state recognition, historical memory, and the continuing struggle to make Black experiences visible within South American national histories.

Race and History in Brazil 

Designed to support teaching in Africana Studies, Latin American Studies, Brazilian Studies, History, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Film and Media Studies, and related disciplines, this three-film collection explores race, identity, and the enduring legacy of slavery in Brazil. Combining documentary, historical reflection, and speculative fiction, these acclaimed films challenge the myth of Brazil as a racial democracy while examining how the past continues to shape contemporary struggles for representation, equality, and justice.

The collection includes:
• Executive Order
• Denying Brazil (A Negação do Brasil)
• Abolição

Executive Order is set in a near-future Brazil where the government orders all Black citizens to relocate to Africa as a form of historical reparation. As resistance grows, the film uses satire and dystopian fiction to expose the persistence of racism and the fragility of civil rights in contemporary society.

Denying Brazil (A Negação do Brasil) examines the representation of Black people in Brazilian television from the 1960s through the end of the twentieth century. Through clips from popular soap operas and interviews with actors, filmmakers, and scholars, the documentary reveals how media has reinforced racial stereotypes while limiting the visibility and opportunities of Afro-Brazilians.

Abolição reflects on Brazil one hundred years after the abolition of slavery in 1888. Through interviews, historical analysis, and reflections from activists, artists, and intellectuals, the film explores the promises left unfulfilled by emancipation and the enduring realities of racial inequality.

Together, these films provide a rich framework for understanding the historical roots and contemporary expressions of race in Brazil. They invite critical discussion of slavery and abolition, media representation, national identity, structural racism, social justice, and the ongoing struggle for equality in one of the world's largest Afro-descendant societies.

From Colonialism to Democracy: Congolese Voices Across Time

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the second-largest country in Africa and one of the world's richest nations in natural resources. Yet, more than six decades after independence, it remains at the center of global debates over democracy, conflict, foreign intervention, and the control of the critical minerals that power the global economy.

Today, the country once again faces political uncertainty as President Félix Tshisekedi seeks to open the door to a possible third presidential mandate through constitutional reform, while violence continues to devastate the eastern provinces.

Against this urgent contemporary backdrop, From Colonialism to Democracy: Congolese Voices Across Time provides educators and students with a powerful lens through which to examine the historical, political, and human forces that continue to shape the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The collection includes:

• Congo: White King, Red Rubber, Black Death
• The Man Who Mends Women
• Kinshasa Makambo

Through rare archival material and expert analysis, the film exposes the forced labor, mass atrocities, and exploitation carried out in the pursuit of rubber and ivory, providing essential historical context for understanding the Democratic Republic of the Congo today.

The Man Who Mends Women

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Denis Mukwege has dedicated his life to treating survivors of sexual violence in eastern Congo. Through his medical practice and international advocacy, the film reveals the devastating human consequences of decades of conflict while celebrating the resilience of women fighting for dignity, healing, and justice.

Kinshasa Makambo

Set during the movement opposing President Joseph Kabila's attempt to remain in power beyond constitutional limits, Kinshasa Makambo follows three young pro-democracy activists who risk imprisonment, violence, and exile in their fight for democratic change. As the Democratic Republic of the Congo confronts renewed debate over presidential term limits, the film offers timely insight into the continuing struggle for accountable government and civic freedom.

Together, these three films trace the Democratic Republic of the Congo's journey from colonial exploitation to today's struggle for peace, democracy, and justice.
