Bigger Than Africa – Nollywood Documentary Movie

I really enjoyed watching Bigger Than Africa. This documentary shows the various aspects of Yoruba culture including religion, music, government system, and others as well as the dispersion of the culture in the Americas. It is well-structured which is what I really like about this documentary. It also highlights the strength and resilience of the Yoruba people. This experience is helpful for AP World History students because not only will they learn new things, but also see how powerful culture can be. The fact that they managed to contain their culture despite their hardships during the trans-Atlantic slave trade and colonization is beyond fascinating.
