A documentary in which an African-German gets to he bottom of right-wing movements worldwide - and their completely wrong interpretation of "Aryanism" - a phenomenon of the tall, blond and blue-eyed master race established by the French philosopher Gobineau, It went on with the Nazis, and still promotes hate and racial murders today. Filmmaker Mo Asumang sets out for a tour de force into the abyss of the political evil in Germany and the US. She travels to places where the real Aryans originally came from an area which is now part of Iran.THE ARYANS is a personal journey into the madness of racism during which she meets German neo-Nazis, the US leading racist, the notorious Tom Metzger and Ku Klux Klan members in the alarming twilight of the Midwest.

Roots Germania (2007)
The identity search of the afro-german Mo Asumang started when she first heard the song that called for her murder “This bullet is for you, Mo Asumang” sang by the Neonaziband “White Aryan Rebels”. Instead of hiding Mo was driven by her desire to overcome her fears and sets out for the most exiting journey about Identity. The Film is an intimate look into her family History makes clear how deep racism has already touched the lifes of her German Mother and Ghanaian Father.
On her search for Identity, Mo even follows the advice of the Neonazis to “Go back where you came from!” But in Ghana she is seen as a white person. In Ghana Mo explores a new view onto the topic roots, they are international she says. In the film Mo combines her german and ghanaian roots and opens the topic in a playful way to society and even takes it out of the rightwing corner.
Roots Germania is a Roadmovie between questioning pseudo-germanic ideas of right wing populists and finding Identity and self-confidence as a AFRO - GERMAN.

Road To Rainbow (2010)
„I cannot be me, without you“ these are the wise words of the South African wisdom „Ubuntu“ that Archbishop Desmond Tutu tells Mo Asumang before sending her out on her journey to find the Vision of the „Rainbow Nation“ in South Africa. The Rainbow Nation, was supposed to replace the apartheid era. But did that really happen? And what did we see while the soccer world cup?
Together with the comedian Kagiso Lediga, Mo`s tour guide, they travel in a rusty old minibus to find out if black’s, ands white’s now live equaly together 16 years after the end of Apartheid. Politicians and other well known figure such as F.W. de Klerk (former president of South Africa), Helen Zille (Leader of the Democratic Alliance), Patricia De Lille (Leader of the Independent Democrats), Geoff Doidge (ANC Minister) share with Mo their opinions about the existance of the Rainbow Nation in South Africa.
But Mo and Kagiso find the truth in the lives of street children, township families, in the periphery of crime and security and by making friends with the little boy Inganathi, who is HIV positive.
„Road to Rainbow“ portraits the image of a changing african society in an entertaining, profound, and, above all in a naive yet provocative way.
