I happened to be switching channels one day recently and stumbled upon the documentary "10 days in Africa". I watched it and enjoyed it. It made me want to see what AfroPop was really about so i took down the website and here i am listening to documentaries on Hip Hop in Africa, Bi-racial hair and what it means to be a black man in this world. I have never heard of this organization before but i think it is great someone is giving young people, especially minority a platform in film and such a variety of topics that are relatable. I look forward to seeing more documentaries on television and on the website. I intend to pass on the website to others in my family. Phila by way of Jamaica Queens NY-Tracy
