‘The narrative unfolds through music videos, fashion, dance, beautiful natural settings and new talents. But it all started in my backyard. So from my house to Johannesburg, from Ghana to London, from Belgium to the Grand Canyon, it was really a journey to bring this film to life.

“I could never have imagined that a year later, all the hard work that went into this production would have a greater purpose,” Beyonce wrote on Instagram last month.
‘The events of 2020 have made the film’s vision and message all the more relevant as people from around the world embark on a historic journey. We all seek security and light. Many of us want change. I believe that when blacks tell our own stories, we can change the axis of the world and tell our REAL story of generational wealth and soul wealth that is not told in our history books.
