Brazilian activists lead a Pan-African women's collective in Senegal (dap @ Sis. Muauke)

This is a clip from Na nga def: Diasporics Encounter Africans, a stirring documentary about five Brazilian activists who spearheaded a pan-African women's collaborative in Gorée, Senegal. However, the documentary has a sad epilogue. Angel Wainaina, the young Kenyan hiphop activist interviewed in the film, died tragically in Nairobi last year (2009) during a supermarket fire.
