Bigger Than Africa

When the slave ships crossed the Atlantic, they carried more than bodies - they transported entire civilizations, rich with philosophies, religions, languages, rhythms and ancestral memory. BIGGER THAN AFRICA traces the living legacy of Yoruba culture - from the vibrant Candomble temples of Salvador, Brazil and the Orisha festivals of Trinidad, to Harlem's drum circles and the enduring traditions in West Africa. The documentary reveals how Yoruba traditions not only survived the Middle Passage but also took root, flourished and evolved across the globe. More than a historical account, the film is a cultural odyssey uncovering the spiritual and cultural threads that bind the African diaspora across continents.
