In Swahili, the word “maafa” means “great disaster” or “tragedy.”

So it’s fitting that the word would become the title of a new documentary that shows how the abortion industry in the United States is targeting members of the African-American community.

Released this summer, “Maafa21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America,” features St. Louisan Connie Eller, a longtime African-American volunteer with the pro-life movement here and coordinator of Missouri Blacks for Life.

The two-hour documentary, produced by Texas-based Life Dynamics Inc. and its founder Mark Crutcher, serves as an expose of the link between abortion, racism and the eugenics movement. It draws on examples, from the time of slavery, of the use of sterilization, birth control and abortion to “control” the black population in the United States. Those behind the making of the video estimate that abortion has reduced the black population in the United States by about 25 percent.
