In the interest of putting more media about Africa here, check out Thomas Sankara the Upright Man, great documentary from 2006 (youtu.be)

I don't know if this was the doc I watched, but I remember having a lot of the brain worms you get from just existing in the west's sphere of influence about west Africa and "African dictators" being dismantled by watching a documentary on Sankara, and subsequently how he was betrayed by one of his closest allies. Teenage me was inspired by the humanity and kindness he showed the people of Burkina Faso.
