The African Diaspora International Film Festival invites you to celebrate the work and life of Josephine Baker, first black woman to enter France's Panthéon.&nbsp;&nbsp;French President Emmanuel Macron hosted the ceremony on Nov. 30, 2021.&nbsp;Josephine Baker will be the fifth woman to be honored with a Pantheon burial and will also be the first entertainer honored. Josephine Baker: Black Diva in a White Man's World A tender, revealing documentary about one of the most famous and popular performing artists of the 20th century. Her legendary banana belt dance created theatre history; her song “J’ai deux amours” became a classic, and her hymn. The film focuses on her life and work from a&nbsp;perspective that analyses images of Black people in popular culture. It portrays the artist in the mirror of European colonial clichés and presents her as a resistance fighter, an ambulance driver during WWII, and an outspoken activist against racial discrimination involved in the worldwide Black Consciousness movement of the 20th century.
