 Yoruba culture is a “river that never rests.” *Amazing Grace* is a prestige documentary feature chronicling the journey of Black Excellence.

 This film explores Yoruba culture and its global impact on Afro-Brazilian history and Afro-culture. This documentary is a 360-degree immersive dive into Yoruba culture across the Americas, Africa, and Europe.

 Moreover, it is a celebration of life. The African diaspora spread millions of people across multiple continents. There are 47 million in the US from the African Diaspora; 11 3million in Latin America, mainly in Brazil; 13.6 million in the Caribbean; and 3.5 million in Europe.

 The Motherland remains, but we are in a race against time to preserve and amplify rich African histories before Western culture forgets their origins.
