Out of Darkness is a full length three-part documentary by director Amadeuz Christ (Δ+), examining the untold history of African people, the African cultural contribution to the nations of the world, and the events that have contributed to the condition of African people today. Out of Darkness will explore the Nubian/Kushitic origins of Nile Valley Civilization, contact between Africa and the Americas since the times of antiquity, as well as the influence of the Moors in Europe leading to Europe’s intellectual Renaissance. In addition, the film will analyze the history of modern day racism, the concept of “white supremacy,” the impact of Hip Hop as a social movement, and the idea of nationhood.

Out of Darkness is narrated by Prof. Kaba Kamene and co-stars Dr. Umar Johnson, Dr. Claud Anderson, Tim Wise, Prof. James Small, Dr. Joy DeGruy, Anthony Browder, Sabir Bey, Atlantis Browder, and Taj Tarik Bey.

The film is scheduled for release in Fall 2015.

Your Contribution

By contributing to the Out of Darkness campaign you will help to make history. We still have post-production costs to take care of to cover the final editing of the film in addition to the film scoring and artwork design. 
Your contributions will also help us to implement our plan for Out of Darkness to have a nationwide theatrical release in all major markets across the U.S. We would like to expand this into other global markets as well. Contributions will also cover initial manufacturing costs for the film, in addition to financing phase one of the film's promotional campaign.

The Impact of Your Contribution

Your contribution will help promote Out of Darkness to our target demographic, to get the film into all major markets across the U.S, and other across the globe. It will also help to support the grass-roots marketing campaign aimed at engaging the young generation through community events and presentations centered around the film.

You will help us to get the film featured on popular websites and online media outlets that cater to our demographic, specifically the young people and the Hip Hop generation, so that we can "bridge the gap" between the Elders and the Youth. Online promotion will be a heavy focus in our promotional campaign in order to take advantage of the digital technologies now available to independent filmmakers. 


Risks & Challenges

We are asking $10,000 USD as the minimum amount required to make this film a reality, although our goal for a global market release is $50,000 USD. The more we can raise with this campaign, the higher we can guarantee our chance of success. OUR GOAL IS TO GET THIS FILM IN ALL MAJOR MARKETS ACROSS THE GLOBE!!!!! INTO THE COLLEGES!!! INTO OUR COMMUNITIES!!!

Be a part of history.
