We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend Menelik Shabazz. He was a visionary director and vital inspiration to many around the world.
We had the privilege of speaking to him and other members of CEDDO last year. https://t.co/LxtOO5B9SI
Love to all who will miss him

Menelik Shabazz (30 May 1954 – 28 June 2021)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, brother, partner and uncle Menelik Shabazz, a passionate film maker who forged the way for others. We have been touched by your tributes. Thank you all.
