African Odyssey: Ancestral Memories Short Film | 10 min 12 sec
Written and Executive Produced by Cathleen Antoine-Abiala
Directed by Emeka Anozie (Aborijin Media) and Regine Romain (WaWaWa Diaspora Centre)
A Haitian-American woman journeys to Bénin, West Africa for the first time. As she moves through historic sites linked to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, she enters a layered space of reflection, remembrance, and reconnection. What unfolds is a quiet but powerful transformation—an emergence into reclaimed identity, guided by ancestral memory and spiritual clarity.
