I was deeply moved when I listened to this interview. Makena has always been a childhood hero of mine, and her songs were a big part of my life. I didn't realize that she had been banned from mainstream media because of her choice of spouse. Even though I was just a Venezuelan kid who adored Miriam's music, I have grown up and still hold her in high regard. This makes me feel connected to her and her experiences, as we are all part of a global community that continues to expand and intertwine every day.

My tears are swelling in my eyes too. Having met her I can only recall a lady with such intelligence grace and eloquence . No University can teach that. As a people should learn to give credit where it's due and not be overtaken by foreign ideals. I feel she never got the credit she deserved. May her spirit hover over our land and instill values and integrity in us for her fight and many others like her to not be in vain. Aluta Continua!!! This can

Its pain full to see how that other African people have sacrificed their life so that the entire nation may be free in our mother land , but when one person at the top (President) will decide to be a sellout just for money while the entire nation suffers. This is shame to those who fought the oppressive system which was imposed on us as African by the europeans.

@O M Making an independent movie for example, is not dependent on anything "white." There are legitimate movies today (i.e. Annual Black Film Festivals) that don't care about a mainstream audience or other demographics. Paradigm shift: Make the movie, show it to the audience that pays to see it...archive it for future generations, simple it's done - seen later by every African needing/wanting an educational boost. If other ethnicities want to see it so be it. No, her story should not be watered down by Anglo-Saxon's, but a broader Afrocentric vision doesn't even consider or depend on others or Hollywood's quest for broader market appeal.

@O M My orthodontist was the distributor if the movie, "Tge Spook Who Sat by the Door." He got it done out the can to the public. The here is, a movie that pays homage to the African Diaspora. dies not have to be a commercial market intent venture. It also does not have ve made in America. It could win awards for Best Foreign Film. Africa produces tons of movies at high technical and commercial quality (i.e. Nollywood refers to the Nigerian film industry.)" The work-arounds in a world filled with European values, are defined by still doing things aligned with your own values, and not drawn into putting "their values" with or in front of your interests and priorities. There are movie makers in South Africa who could create an epic documentary about her African roots, to birth, to exile...to rebirth in popular culture appreciation. Everything typed here will be a part of a treatment plan, sent to studios. We need not wish for others to act first. It is not hard and pays homage and respect to our Diaspora freedom fighter.

This hurts a lot, i'v watched some of her interviews and I'v realized she was an intelligent intellect. What makes my tears fall out of my eye sockets is to hear from how deep she had to drough her courage out of a situation that was not presenting any better option for her than harden herself both physically n emotionally for perseverance against all odds. It breaks a heart to see how people can be deprived of their own right to live free from where they stem. It's more like being innocently sentenced to death. Rest in peace Mama Africa, your legacy will live on to liberate the world.

I'm looking at this lady and this interview for myself and she did have an uplifting spirit during their conversation. All her questions seemed geared towards depression and oppression as if she wanted to see her cry. And I'm sure those questions were giving to her by the producers who were probably racist. Sorry I'm not buying it.

Individualism vs. The African Structure of Family. That is why any form of negotiation absent of TRUTH, expired unconditionally when Canada turned by son into a political tool. That was the day the game ended, regardless of what Canada does going forward. That reality can no longer be avoided no matter what Canada proposes including money or love.

I love listening to Miriam Makeba talk and express herself about what pains her and what rejoices her. "Political analysts" in imperialist media will try to confuse us, make things look very articulate, but at the core of oppression is something very violent, direct. Listening to her subjectivity gives the most important things to know about what is sold to us as "geopolitics": what happens to someone who's oppressed, robbed and deprived of their rights. I saw a picture of Makeba and Kwame Ture together as young fighters. Their energy lives on forever
