The Road Behind, The Road Ahead is a new documentary by aspiring artist Hacene Zennia. It was just released on DVD and can be purchased online (see below). The documentary has already been shown at the 2008 Los Angeles Amazigh Film Festival and at the 2008 Tafsut commemoration by ACAA, in New Jersey.

From the author: The Road Behind, The Road Ahead is about a return to the roots, my Berber, Amazigh roots in Algeria, North Africa. Over the years, I have witnessed the assimilation of my culture away from the French colonial period toward Arabization, and now toward the west with the advent of the internet and wireless communications. This documentary aims to capture traditional Berber culture before the last pure generation - the generation of my mother, who never went to school, speaks only Berber, and live in a traditional Berber culture - vanishes.

The DVD can be ordered from http://www.filmbaby.com/films/3111
