  • "The film "Motherland: a genetic journey," followed three people of African descent who traced their roots through DNA testing. Shot in the UK, USA, Africa and Jamaica, this film picks up their story two years later. Mark discovers that his ancestors belonged to the Kanuri tribe but he cannot communicate with them since there is a language barrier. Beaula learns that she has ancestors that belong to more than one tribe and some of the people are only interested in what gifts she can offer them. Jacqueline visits English cousins who are white who accept her as part of the family. All three participants feel enriched by their new discoveries but understand that DNA tracing may lead to complicated emotional discoveries."
  • "The programme looks at how discoveries about their own history have affected the participants in the BBC's ground-breaking investigation to mark the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA, the blueprint of life. Show in the UK, USA, Africa and Jamaica, this very moving film continues three soul-searching journeys that raise fundamental questions about who we are."
