Africa Episode 7: The Rise of Nationalism

Documentary Summary

The documentary, The Rise of Nationalism, hosted by Basil Davidson, is about African

history before, during, and after the slave trade and colonial period to modern times. I serve the

purpose of educating individuals interested in African and African History. Through the

documentary, a person learns how Africans had their civilizations, kingdoms, trades, and values

before the colonists could invade their territories. Part of a documentary series looks at the myths

and the realities and history of the entire Africa continent. It examines the significant

independence challenges, starting with the Gold Coast and the nationalist leader, Kwame

Nkrumah’s initiative (Davidson, 2016). In the documentary, Ghana’s story makes the larger part

of it.

The struggles in Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Algeria, the tragedy of the Belgian Congo,

and the attempts by Kenyatta, Nelson Mandela and Nyerere for African unity are highlighted in

the film. Closely, Basil Davidson reviews the independent state of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and

South Africa. Further, the film focuses on Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah’s vision of Pan-

Africanism, which had not gained significant influence and acceptance like nationalism

(Davidson, 2016). It examines the situation of Guinea-Bissau, where the nation started to rely on

communist aid after it was denied assistance from the West. When Mozambique’s President,

Samora Machel, gets interviewed, he states the role of FRELIMO and the liberation Soldiers in

the independence of Mozambique from Portugal (Davidson, 2016). The film also considers and

explores the last breakdown of the white minority in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, and turns to

South Africa and its apartheid to inquire how long this final bastion of the white governance can

survive.
