Movie producer Socrates Safo wishes his daring film, “Tun-Tum,” would be aired to the public once he is dead.
According to him, the movie that talks about human origin with the “lion’s side” of the story told by him might create lots of controversies and bloodshed, hence his wish.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on the Max Morning Show in Accra on Friday, Socrates said the truth was not told to the world, making the world believe that the first man created was a white.
He argued that Adam could not possibly be a white man with the analogy that man was created from four elements: dust, fire, water, and air, and once dust passes through a furnace, it becomes black.
That is, the film producer maintained that the first man on earth was black and not white, as “we are told.”
He also said the Garden of Eden was Ghana due to the geographical and climate differences of the entire world.
“You cannot be naked in America or other parts of the world but in Ghana, which is the center you can walk naked whether rain or shine,” Socrates added.
He also explained that after man was thrown out of the garden, later the world, through migration, went back to its original routes.
“Per the history of the Ashantis, the Gas and everyone, they are from the Northern side. The Ashantis will tell you that they are from Sudan. If you check the history of Sudan, the Sudanese were coming from Egypt. The actual Egyptians were black. The Gas will say Israel and the Israelites were also coming from the river Nile.”
“If you go to Israel today, that area, there are black indigenes. So how come that the black race were the ones descending down? It was the return to where the blacks actually came from. They were chasing something, something was directing them to a point,” Socrates said.
Talking about how the whites came about, he said the actual explanation would rather create the chaos and bloodshed that he saw in his dream and decided to become mum about it.
“After I saw the story in my dream, I also saw bloodshed when I was telling the story so it is my wish for this story to be shown to the public if I am no longer in this world. This is my wish,” Socrates added.
However, Tun-Tum had already been premiered to 100 people, and on Friday, February 16, 2024, the story through Anabelle from the Beyond the Return Secretariat was also shown in Silverbird to 150 black Americans.
The movie would also be shown for the first time in America as part of the “Black History Month” celebration at Harold Washington College, based in Chicago.
Though there were requests across the world to watch this controversial piece, Socrates insisted on keeping the “Lion’s side” of the story from the public until his death.
