Africa explores and sheds new
light on traditional African astronomy and in turn global understanding
of the world's oldest science. Directed and filmed by the multi-award
winning duo Craig and Damon Foster, the film follows scientist
Thebe Medupe on a journey through Africa that stretches from
Namibia to the coastline and steamy jungles of Ghana, across
crocodile infested lakes and deserts of Northern Kenya, the
cliff-side dwellings of the Dogon in Mali and on to the mysterious
archaeological sites of the Egyptian Sahara. This charming and
educational look at where myth and science meet is perfect for
all ages.
