Black Americanah For Sale by Eljon Wardally
Directed by Jackie Alexander

A man in solitary haunted by the spirits of Ota Benga and the Venus Hottentot, enslaved Africans on a ship and a train, a lawyer who wants to bring slavery back, Mother Time, and Adam and Eve, bound by a common, shared history. Black Americanah for Sale is a take on the current prominent themes and identities of African American culture. Told in a series of vignettes, each explores the systemic loop of the ongoing trauma of slavery, imprisonment, racial stereotypes, legacy and whether or not people can truly heal, all through the journey and transformation of a noose.
