I & I: An African Allegory
1979, English. Directed by Ben Caldwell.
Drawing from Ayi Kwei Armah’s novel, "Two Thousand Seasons," Caldwell meditates on reciprocity and on the concept of “I and I” which postulates no division between people, whereas the splitting of “you” from “I” is an invention of the devil designed to brew trouble in the world.
