The Black Star is a 1965 documentary directed by the DEFA-Studio für Dokumentarfilme. It captures Ghana's five years of independence under President Kwame Nkruma through striking color imagery and minimal voice-over.
This film is somewhat elusive in collector circles, as it was released in a time when many documentaries didn't get the preservation they deserve. It's intriguing to find it on various formats, though the original prints are becoming harder to track down. The documentary offers a unique perspective that resonates with collectors interested in African cinema and post-colonial narratives, making it a curious gem in any serious collection.
