HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America - Film
HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America is our new film project based upon our book HOODOO PEOPLE: Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in North America - Akan Custodians of Hoodoo from Ancient Hoodoo/Udunu Land (Khanit/Nubia).
Shooting for this film is underway. HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion is the second film in our series, the first being AMARUKAFO ADEBISA - African American Ancestral Divination:

Since we released our first film, we became an official selection for the Pembroke Taparelli Arts and Film Festival in Los Angeles, CA and the Kwanzaa Film Festival in New York. We were invited to speak on a panel on Ancestral Religion in Los Angeles and won the award for Best Original Documentary in New York in January, 13020 (2020).
In AMARUKAFO ADEBISA we introduced forms of divination preserved in North America within our Ancestral Religions of Hoodoo (Akan), Juju (Yoruba), Wanga (Ovambo - Gullah), Ngengang (Fang) and Voodoo (Ewe).
In our new film project HOODOO - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America we are examining the Hoodoo tradition in particular. Our Akan Ancestresses and Ancestors preserved our Ancestral Religion after having been forced to migrate to the western hemisphere 300 years ago during the Mmusuo Kese (Great Perversity/Enslavement era). Our film is based upon our book - HOODOO PEOPLE: Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in North America - Akan Custodians of Hoodoo from Ancient Hoodoo/Udunu Land (Khanit/Nubia):
In this book we trace the origins of Akan people and Akan languge, culture, cosmology and ritual practices to ancient Khanit (Nubia) through West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) to North America.
In this film we will examine the origins of the false religions and fictional characters including jesus/yeshua and christianity, muhammad/allah and islam, abraham, isaac, ishmael, moses and hebrewism/judaism, buddha and buddhism and more. Our book KUKUU-TUNTUM The Ancestral Jurisdiction details how these characters were manufactured by the whites and their offspring for political purposes. We will showcase this information in the film.
We will also examine the nature and function of the Akofo, Warriors and Warrioresses, who used Hoodoo, inclusive of Rootwork, to wage war physically and through chemical and biological warfare, against the whites and their offspring to force the end of enslavement in North America. This includes those who were actually Akan - Okofo Yaw (Nat Turner), Okofo Kwabena (Denmark Vesey), Nana Abenaa Araminta (Harriet Tubman), Nana Nyamma (High John the Conqueror).
We are traveling to various seats of Hoodoo in North America including Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Chicago, Virginia, Florida and California to film. This includes an examination of Maroon societies in North America - independent Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Nations founded by our people who freed themselves from enslavement through warfare.
Information we introduced in our first film will be examined in detail in our second film.
Featured in the film will be: Amma Asaase Agyei, Afia Nkoso Bretuo and Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan.
For those who appreciated the first film, you will be very excited about the second film. It takes the information to the next level including language, etymology, cosmology, ritual practice and more which is characteristic of our books and broadcasts that many are familiar with.
In connection with this new film we will be hosting our very own annual film festival: KANKYE - Conjure Film Festival which will take place on November 7, 2020. Our new film will be one of the features films screened at our festival.
More details coming soon on this new endeavor..
