Senator Obama Goes to Africa

The Tiburon Film Society will present Bob Hercules and Keith Walker’s 52-minute documentary Senator Obama Goes to Africa on Wednesday, November 5, at 6 p.m. at the Bay Model located at 2100 Bridgeway in the Bay Area town of Sausalito.

In Senator Obama Goes to Africa, Barack Obama returns to the land of his ancestors (on his father’s side) in Kisumu, Kenya. As per the Tiburon Film Society’s press release, the documentary is "part personal odyssey and part chronicle of diplomacy in action," as the senator covers a lot of ground in Sub-Saharan Africa, traveling also to South Africa — where he visits Nelson Mandela’s prison at Robben Island — and to a Darfur refugee camp in Chad. Obama himself narrates the film.

Now, it’d be interesting to see a movie showing Obama returning to the land of his ancestors on his mother’s side — in Ireland and Scotland.

For more information on the Senator Obama Goes to Africa screening, call (415) 332.3871.
