Scientific paper

The multi-award winning, documentary film "Cosmic Africa" was released in 2003. It tells the remarkable personal odyssey of South African astronomer, Dr Thebe Medupe, who journeys into remote corners of the ancient continent to explore and shed new light on Africa's rich astronomical knowledge and sacred traditions. His quest begins to fill in the gap in historical African astronomy and also helps to bridge the future with the past and to make astronomy accessible and relevant to both Africa and the world. The film is a co-production of Cosmos Studios (USA), Aland Pictures (RSA) and Anne Rogers, the concept originator and key researcher. This paper explores the research methods used in the film and also highlights some of the subject material that was omitted from the documentary.
