"Harvest:  3,000 Years"
1976
Directed by Haile Gerima

A peasant family struggles to survive under conditions that remain tied to a feudal past, fighting against the demands of a wealthy and uncaring landowner.  Haile Gerima (Sankofa) returned to his native Ethiopia to make this realistic drama set in contemporary Africa.   Gerima's realism puts the story into the broader historical context of the colonialist African legacy. Amharic with English subtitles.
150 minutes.
