Chicago Filmmakers are honoring Obama's upcoming inauguration with a screening of the documentary "Senator Obama Goes to Africa." The screening is this Saturday, January 17th (just four days before Obama is sworn in) at 8 p.m. at 5243 N. Clark St., on the 2nd Floor. The film chronicles Sen. Obama's trip to Africa in 2006.

Part personal odyssey and part chronicle of diplomacy in action, this timely documentary follows Senator Barack Obama as he travels to the land of his ancestry in 2006. From South Africa to Kenya to a Darfur refugee camp in Chad, Obama explores the vast continent that is gaining increasing importance in this age of globalization. The heart of the film is Obama's emotional homecoming to Kisumu, Kenya - his father's former home - where thousands of people turn out to greet him.
