Awesome viewing. This documentary illustrates the strength, courage, and tenacity of the upright people of Burkina Faso. It reflects the righteousness of our people and our ability to resist, fight, define, create, and tell our story while living under the most perilous conditions. Power to the legacy of Nana Thomas Sankara and the mighty people of Burkina Faso.

Meda wo ase for providing us a look at some of the history of Burkina Faso. This is definitely the land of upright men, shown through the righteous and BlackTastik works of Nana Thomas Sankara. This documentary drives home the point of how important it is for Kmtyw to love their own people, culture, and traditions, as well as how to handle traitors.

The impact of media to push forward Abibifahodie is powerful. The Q&A drives home the point of our need for Abibifoɔ to own and control all aspects of our media for the purpose of driving out isfet and restoring Ma’at
