The subject of United States of Africa, a documentary by Yanick Letourneau, co-founder of Positive Black Soul and a spokesmen for African youth, uses hip-hop mixed with traditional beats to promote a unified Africa. From Thomas Sankara to Martin Luther King, his pan-African project Présidents d’Afrique put to music, 50 years after independence, the key speeches by the great black consciousness leaders.
