Can you wax poetic on K'naan??

Either: compose a short rap about what you heard today,

OR quote a line from one of the songs we were exposed to today and analyze it, break it down, reflect upon it.

What's going on in Somalia these days, and how do you explain it? What are the main causes of the violence?

Reflect on the film. . .what new thoughts has it brought up for you?

What was the message of this film?

Is this film still relevant today? If so, how/why? If not, how/why not?

When We Were Kings

What is the filmmaker trying to accomplish with the montage interspersing African-American artists and local African dancers and children, Mobutu Sese-Soko and maggots, and some rather explicit sexuality?

What is the role of music throughout the film, both for Africans and African-Americans?

What do you think is the political message the filmmakers are trying to make? In other words, what is their main argument throughout this film?
