500 Years Later (2005) explores the enduring impacts of slavery and colonialism on people of African descent worldwide, who continue to grapple with issues such as crime, drugs, HIV/AIDS, poor education, inferiority complex, low expectations, poverty, corruption, poor health, and underdevelopment. This thought-provoking documentary delves into the root causes of these challenges, questioning why, five centuries after the beginning of slavery and colonialism, Africans are still striving for fundamental freedoms. Shot across five continents and over twenty countries, the film offers an authentic and powerful narrative from the African perspective, giving voice to those often marginalized in historical accounts. It examines the collective traumas that displaced Africans from their cultural roots and homelands, presenting a compelling and timeless journey infused with the spirit and music of liberation. The documentary chronicles the ongoing struggle for the most basic human right—freedom.
