North American Premiere
Following his internationally acclaimed This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection (2019), filmmaker and visual artist Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese returns with Ancestral Visions of the Future — a deeply personal cinematic essay that weaves myth, memory, and autobiography into a poetic meditation on loss and longing. Fragmented and dreamlike, the film introduces two mythical figures: the Puppeteer, who cultivates herbs to extend life; and the Market Seller, a mother who preserves the language of dreams in a city that has forgotten how to speak it.
Alongside these poetic threads, Mosese retraces his own path from his childhood in Lesotho to the isolating streets of Berlin, with his mother’s presence anchoring the film as both guardian and witness. Ancestral Visions of the Future resists linear storytelling in favour of sensory intuition, ancestral echoes, and emotional excavation. What emerges is less of a narrative than a reckoning — an offering of remembrance, resistance, and cinematic defiance.

Leadership, once a beacon, now flickers faintly in the vast storm of our times.
We are at a low point — not just in politics or policy, but in the soul of humanity. https://theafronews.com/humanity-drowning-in-the-absence-of-leadership/

Reflection Note
“To what extent has Sir Lewis Hamilton encountered systemic racial bias or targeted actions within professional motorsport, and could these factors be interpreted as attempts to undermine his record-breaking career and legacy?”

The highest point of self is in trust; we must remain trustful in everything we do to build a better society on all levels of leadership and government. Leading with trust brings dignity and this is a precious value of life. https://theafronews.com/the-word-that-matters-most-trust/

The Harry Jerome Oval Is Now Officially Open!
West Vancouver Place for Sport Welcomes a World-Class Track to the North Shore
On Tuesday, July 8, 2025, the West Vancouver community celebrated a historic milestone: the grand opening of the Harry Jerome Oval at the West Vancouver Place for Sport. This brand new, top-tier track facility marks a major addition to local sports infrastructure and a proud continuation of Canada’s athletic legacy.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by a host of distinguished guests, including The Honourable Mayor and Council, Squamish Nation Councillor Deborah Baker, West Vancouver Schools Board Chair Nicole Brown and Trustees, members of the Place for Sport Fundraising Committee, and Valerie Jerome, sister of the late, great Canadian sprinting legend, Harry Jerome.
The atmosphere was one of celebration, unity, and inspiration, as the community came together to honour Harry Jerome’s remarkable legacy—a legacy defined not only by athletic excellence but by perseverance, dignity, and national pride.
The new track is more than just a venue. It is a space for youth, athletes, and families to gather, train, compete, and dream. It represents West Vancouver’s commitment to healthy living, inclusive recreation, and the enduring spirit of sport.
To Harry Jerome’s legacy and the bright future of athletics in our community—let the races begin!

Football Is More Than a Game – It’s Humanity
Football is a game of joy, enthusiasm, and passion. These values shine through in both individual brilliance and team spirit.
However, in today’s digital age, the game is increasingly overshadowed by the darker side of social media. Over the past three years, Kylian Mbappé has been subjected to an unprecedented level of abuse and personal attacks online. This is not just criticism – it’s harassment, and it takes a toll.
We are now witnessing the mental burden this young talent carries. He is not alone. Behind the fame, the pressure, and the headlines, many professional players silently battle with their mental health.
Mental health is not a weakness – it is a reality. It is time to break the taboo in professional football. It is time to support, not tear down.
Stop the abuse. Respect the player. Protect the person.
