Selected quotes from the international Press (2007 - 2011)
USA today (29 April 2009) writes:
The German filmmaker and U.S. president are kindred souls. Like Obama, Asumang, 45, was born to a white mother and black African father. Each was also were raised largely by a doting, white grandmother. And each, eventually, undertook a journey of self-discovery. Obama's was chronicled in his best-selling 2004 book, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance. Asumang's awakening came in the form of a 2007 documentary, Roots Germania, in which she set out to confront a Neo-Nazi who threatened her life. But instead, she ended up exploring her dual identities".
