Patrick:
You probably already know this, but I thought I should bring it to the
attention of others on the list. There is a documentary on the connections
between Sierra Leone and the United States that is quite useful. It does
feature, among other themes, Joseph Opala discussing Bunce Island. The
name of the documentary is The Language You Cry In, and it is available
from California Newsreel. You may be able to find copies in local
libraries (university and public).
Happy holidays!
