Examines the claims of Professor Martin Bernal who questions the assumption of the “Europeaness” of our civilization placing instead the “black” Egyptians and Phoenicians at the center of the West’s origins.

Black Athena examines Cornell Professor Martin Bernal’s iconoclastic study of the African origins of Greek civilization and the explosive academic debate it provoked.

This film offers a balanced, scholarly introduction to the disputes surrounding multiculturalism, “political correctness” and Afrocentric curricula sweeping college campuses today.

I remember looking at this documentary only a few weeks ago

More balanced and interesting, however, is this debate that took place between John Henrik Clarke and Martin Bernal vs Mary Lefkowitz and Prof MacLane Rogers. Be warned, it's long, lol
