  • "Traces African history and civilization from their beginnings in some of the world's greatest prehistoric civilizations, looking at how different communities came to terms with an often hostile environment, how they adapted to medieval gold trade, built cities and commanded kingdoms. The series then turns to the arrival of missionaries, the slave trade, the explorers and the colonial period from the 1880s to World War II when the rise of nationalism led to struggles for independence. Modern Africa, with its colonial legacy, is viewed through interviews with modern African leaders."

  • "Gives a history of Africa from many locations showing life as it is today plus archive film and dramatized reconstructions. -- Different but equal: This traces the early history of the African continent pointing out that some of the world's greatest prehistoric civilizations had their origins in Africa, including that of the Pharoahs of Egypt -- Mastering a continent: This program looks closely at three different communities, Pokot cattle herders in Keny, Sukur, a farming village between Nigerian and Cameroon and the Dogon of Mali. The film examines the way in which African peoples mastered the problems of creating a viable way of life in a varied and often hostile environment -- Caravans of gold: This program examines Africa's pivotal role in the medieval trade routes and shows how the continent benefited economically and culturally from it -- Kings and cities: This program explores the ways in which the early African kingdoms functioned by visitiing Kano in Northern Nigeria where a king presides with a council and administers according to ancient rituals that still command the respect of the people -- The Bible and the gun: Host Basil Davidson looks first at the impact of the slave trade on Africa and then at the influx of explorers and missionaries to the continent -- This magnificent African cake: From the 1880s until less than 30 years later, all but two African countries came under colonial rule. This "scramble for Afrfica" was to change forever the face of the continent -- The rise of nationalism: The major struggles for African independence - in Ghanam the Gold Coast, Kenya, Algeria, the Belgian Congo - are all charted. Davidson then focuses on events in Mozambique and Guinea Bissau, and finally on South Africa -- The legacy: The legacy of colonoal rule is not always reconcilable with African traditions and problems. In several capitals - Lagos, Nairobi, and Dakar - viewers see how Africa is trying to come to terms with its inheritance."@en
