ABOUT THE FILM
/http%3A%2F%2Forigin.ih.constantcontact.com%2Ffs036%2F1100634363677%2Fimg%2F365.jpg%3Fa%3D1102624612018) " ...This MUST be seen. awesome!!!!! share this." Questlove of the Roots, Rolling Stone Magazine | | | JACKSON 5 IN AFRICA
Narrated by renowned actor Robert Hooks and filmed in Senegal, this never-before-seen film documents the Jackson 5 as they embarked on a their 1974 African tour.
The film opens with the Jackson being greeted by a group of dancers and drummers at the airport. There is a wonderful section with Michael Jackson and the family at an African market and classic live footage of the group performing "Hum Along and Dance" (rare songs not-recorded) and 10-year-old Randy (who at the time just joined the group) is interviewed briefly and plays a drum solo at the concert. There's lots more in the film, including some great shots of both Northern and Southern Senegalese weaving techniques, an excellent description of mask-making and a great shot of teary-eyed Joe Jackson receiving the Medal of the Lion, the highest Senegalese honor.
The film is 50 minutes long and ends abruptly because it was never finished.

| | How did ImageNation get such a rare film? JACKSON 5 IN AFRICA was made be a group of African investors who ran out of money trying to finish the film. In 1982, the owner of this film -- an international businessman (who wants to remain anonymous) -- bartered with one of the original producers, acquiring a 16mm print of this rare film, in exchange for a 4ct rough diamond. Years later, he reached out to ImageNation to help him find a collector/buyer for the never-before-screened rare film. When Michael Jackson passed on Thursday, we requested permission to do a public screening of the film to celebrate to life of Michael Jackson. The owner agreed, and asked ImageNation to vet offers for this rare film. Collectors/buyers that are interested in the film should send an email to gregory@imagenation.us | | VOLUNTEER! We can use your help...
