SUNDAY 8th NOVEMBER 2009 - CONTEMPORARY
The Prodigal Son

Film info:
South African filmmaker Kurt Orderson retraces the lost history of his great-grandfather, Joseph Orderson. He soon discovers that his great-grandfather did not come directly from West Africa as the family commonly believed, but rather from Barbados, as a descendant of emancipated slaves who had been brought to the island to work in the sugar cane plantations.

He also unearths his ancestor’s activist past: Joseph Orderson was part of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, founded by the great Marcus Garvey, father of contemporary Black Nationalism and Pan Africanism.
