Director: Ousmane William Mbaye
Cheikh Anta Diop, “The Universal Man”, “The Giant of Knowledge”, “The Last Pharaoh”, these were the headlines, the day after his death on February 7, 1986. Thirty years later, KEMTIYU paints a portrait of Cheikh Anta Diop, a trail-blazing scholar with an insatiable thirst for science and knowledge as well as an honest, enlightened political figure, venerated by some, decried by others, and unknown to most.
This film tells the story of a man who fought his whole life for truth and justice in order to restore historical awareness and dignity to Africa.
