Diaspora Conversations: from Goree to Dogon

Actor Danny Glover and director Manthia Diawara travel through West Africa from Goree to Dogon, creating conversations that link different sides and accounts of the African diaspora. "Diaspora Conversations" traces a journey of memory. Traversing through various locales, they negotiate between the current impact of globalization and the historical questions that both confront and facilitate community. Diawara's prose-like narrative guides the viewer through this video diary that examines the conflicting, yet mutually intersecting, legacies of colonialism and cultural tradition. Both anthropology and recollection, "Diaspora Conversations" travels a terrain that provokes the viewer to interrogate "cultural tourism".
