On a historic day last November, a young man from Chicago made history. When Barack Hussein Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States, headlines around the world heralded a new era.

In this Link TV special, we ask - why this man, at this time? He has conjured up hope in people around the world. What will it take to make his vision a reality? Who is this leader who has captivated so many around the globe? To answer these questions, we are joined in the studio by Amy Goodman, eminent journalist and host of Democracy Now!, who covered Obama’s long presidential campaign and continues to look at his policy making as president of the United States.

In the documentary Senator Obama Goes to Africa, we take an important glimpse at the real Barack Obama, as he returns to his family's roots on an emotional journey to Kisumu, Kenya - land of his father. Part personal odyssey and part chronicle of diplomacy in action, this timely documentary follows Obama as he travels to the land of his ancestry. 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.
