The Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF) has released a new full-length historical documentary titled Pan-Africanism: The Fire of Freedom, marking a new project in its ongoing work on political education and Pan-African advocacy.
The documentary explores the historical roots and contemporary demands for reparations, situating them within the broader tradition of Pan-Africanism and anti-colonial struggle. It highlights the work of progressive organisations engaged in the fight for reparative justice, while examining the lasting impacts of colonialism, neocolonialism, and imperial domination on Africa and the Global South.
Using open archival materials, the film revisits the ideas and political legacies of leading Pan-African figures, including Kwame Nkrumah and Marcus Garvey, and connects these traditions to present-day struggles, particularly in the Sahel region, including Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.
Produced as a non-commercial and freely distributable work, Pan-Africanism: The Fire of Freedom is presented for educational and historical purposes. PPF describes the documentary as part of its broader effort to link historical analysis with contemporary political action in the ongoing struggle for African liberation and reparations.
