Kunta Kinte, a Mandika warrior from the Gambia is caught in the bush by slave catchers. He's taken to America and sold into slavery. But he was always fighting his way to get back to Africa. more »


Wrestler:
Kunta Kinte, you do not eat?

Kunta Kinte:
When I eat the white man food, my stomach comes up.

Wrestler:
So does mine. But eat the food, Kunta. Listen to me! Listen carefully. You are a warrior, and a warrior must eat because he must be strong to kill his enemy. So eat the white man's food. Live, Kunta. Live and be strong! Be strong to kill the white man!
