The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I don't understand the point of this film. It's research quality is almost non-existent, a few anecdotes driving huge leaps to conclusions. Buddha was black? Because a statue of a flatter-nosed Buddha was found? What does the film have against asians, are they not allowed a proud heritage too? Must identity-politics be a zero-sum game? Does Identity politics even serve a beneficial purpose?There are huge problems driven by racism faced by real people all around the globe, but I don't see how revisionist history is going to help. If anything this film makes the situation worse.The film is no more factual than the Black Panther movie, and a hell of a lot less entertaining. Where Black Panther was a benefit, a triumph of a movie, including as well as the story around the "black" production of that film, "Hidden Colors" accomplishes almost the exact opposite, with research at the level of an episode of Ghost Hunters.I can only give it two stars, the bonus point for being a bit thought provoking.

I am not a paid reviewer first of all. This documentary had me questioning everything that I was taught in school and college. I was captivated from beginning to end and watched all three documentaries in one night and have re-watched every single one at least four times and I cannot wait for Hidden Colors 4 to come out and was proud to support the Kickstarter campaign. May the Creator and the ancestors bless Brother Tariq Nasheed. Keep up the good work. As for those who critiques have been harsh, have you ever heard of Google? There is no reason whatsoever for you not doing your research and if you contest anything in the documentary, cite an example and then provide evidence that proves your point. Denigrating Brother Nasheed makes you look jealous and pathetic. Some people are so comfortable with the lie that they can't even fathom anything that counters their long cherished beliefs. They would rather believe that Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell and Henry Ford invented the light bulb, phone and automobile despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Louis Latimer and CR Patterson are the unsung and unheralded heroes whose ingenuity is finally getting much needed recognition and praise. I so loved when Dr. Kamene said that "the only thing that the European invented was the patent office." It brought everything that I already knew about the lies that I exposed on my own into even greater focus and deepened my appreciation for independent study. There are numerous examples of European theft of African ingenuity. One glaring example that wasn't even featured in the documentary was the example of Dr. Vivien Thomas. A carpenter by trade who never went to medical school that pioneered bypass surgery and trained world renowned surgeons all over the world. This man didn't have a high school diploma and yet has such brilliance that he taught at one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the USA. And to think that he couldn't even enter John Hopkins through the front door. The brilliance of melanated people worldwide astounds me and it is a crime against humanity that should be punishable by the most gruesome death ever for anyone to knowingly rob an entire segment of humanity of their history and potential. I hope that Tariq Nasheed keeps producing Hidden Colors into infinitum. These first three just scratch the surface! There is so much more to learn!!!!!

I heard so much about this documentary and finally got around to watching it a few months ago. I would have to stay I was quite disappointed. Im sure even tariq nasheed doesn't believe all the information he presented in the film. As being someone who is pro black and always seeking to learn more about my African history, I would have to say this is a big disgrace. It is a shame that so many blacks are watching this and believing it verbatim without doing any fact checking. It's as if what was presented was put together by a basement, weed head, conspiracy theorist. The only reason why I gave the film two stars is because I believe it discusses some current issues and address how us African people can overcome our oppressed history. We gotta do better!

Seeing all three of the documentaries, I do feel as if this first work was indeed less organized and edited as Hidden Colors 2 & 3. However, without a doubt, this documentary was needed for all people especially people of color. If you look at the main key points the speakers and historians were making, they mainly focused on the "whitewashing" of history, meaning how the colors of people are hidden in this society, by those individuals always being depicted extremely lighter than what they truly are documented as in earlier periods of history. As in cases of Jesus whose story came the from Egyptian allegory of Heru,there is no surprise that the late Gerald Massey "discovered nearly two hundred instances of immediate correspondence between the mythical Egyptian material and the allegedly historical Christian writings about Jesus." Please go check that out, because still to this present day, Ethiopia is undoubtedly the oldest documented home for Christianity. Also, there is no documentation of any religions originating from Europe to this present day; only mythology; and consequently all religions of Asia derive from Africa . Therefore, to see a modern day Buddha, whose sculptures in Asia clearly have knotted hair, or the world renowned Jesus to not only be dominantly depicted as males with European phenotypes, but barely ever depicted as men of color in societies is not mere coincidence....Lets not forget the mention of moors, or the vast members and works of the Moorish sciences & arts....which also out-date any others in history. From the architecture erected in Europe down to the educational systems schools were founded off of, it can all be traced back to Africa predating European existence.The supremacy in society becomes so evident when we examine the areas of history that are trying to be erased; period. There are melanated peoples that have existed all over the world, including the Americas, that at minimum out-dates western civilization. People have to stop being fed one sided stories and demand the whole truth about world history and religion.
