 Imagine
a world without FOX, ESPN or MTV, a world where story telling
is the mass media. Imagine what happens when American television
and urbanization collide with life in an African village. In
Homeland this scenario is dramatized through the lens
of one of the first African films to explore the impact of television
on traditional societies. The result is a poignant story of
a village family swept up in the tide of urbanization.
