Diffusée de 1977 à 1987 sur FR3, tous les dimanches matin, pendant 1h30, Mosaïque est une émission de variétés avec un plateau où se produisent des groupes de musique des pays d'origine de l'immigration, et qui diffuse des reportages sur ces pays et sur les immigrés qui vivent en France. À sa création, il visait à promouvoir les cultures d’origine des immigrés, mais aussi à mieux les faire connaître au reste de la population. Toutefois, le programme n'a jamais été financé par la télévision publique qui estimait qu'il s'adressait à un public précis et ne s'inscrivait donc pas dans une mission de service public. Elle a reçu le soutien financier du Ministère du Travail, à travers sa subvention à l'Office National pour la Promotion Culturelle des Immigrés, ONPCI (devenu plus tard Information Culture et Immigration, ICEI, en 1977, puis Agence pour le Développement des Relations interculturelles, ADRI). , en 1982).

Portrait d'Aimé Césaire, poète, homme politique et chantre de la négritude, enraciné dans sa terre natale de Martinique, à travers une longue interview par Sarah Maldoror, entrecoupée de quelques scènes présentant Césaire dans sa vie publique sur l'île. Césaire parle de la Martinique du Nord et de sa relation avec sa poésie (Cahier d'un retour au pays natal). Il dit la nécessité de réveiller une culture populaire martiniquaise authentique, et de jeter les assises de la liberté. La réception de Léopold Senghor dans l'île par Césaire est l'occasion pour les deux hommes de discuter de la négritude ; entre des extraits de La Tragédie du roi Christophe, Césaire s'exprime sur la pièce et le personnage de Christophe. La visite d'un chantier des ateliers municipaux montre enfin l'homme politique local, qui dénonce aussi le statut colonial de l'île.

Exploring the extraordinary contributions of women filmmakers from Africa and the diaspora, Beti Ellerson’s engaging debut intersperses interviews with such acclaimed women directors as Safi Faye, Sarah Maldoror, Anne Mungai, Fanta Régina Nacro and Ngozi Onwurah with footage from their seminal work. With power and nuance, Ellerson also confronts the thorny question of cultural authenticity by revisiting the legendary 1991 FESPACO (Pan-African Festival of Cinema and Television of Ouagadougou), in which diasporian women were asked to leave a meeting intended for African woman only. This film is both a valuable anthology and a fitting homage to the pioneers and new talents of African cinema.

Sarah Maldoror uses Carnival as her approach to the history of colonization and black culture. Carnival is understood here as a festivity during which the limits are transgressed, the world is circumnavigated, and the dominator becomes the dominated, in addition to being an explosion of music and sensations, a great collective performance in which the characteristics of négritude-identity comes forth.

Léon G. Damas (1912–1978) was the first poet to “live Négritude”, according to the Senegalese poet, politician and cultural theorist Léopold Sédar Senghor. Cosmopolitan and always in transit, his writing is a chorus of melodies and imagery imbued with angst and melancholy and strongly influenced by jazz and blues. Punctuated by images of the landscapes of French Guiana and the voice of the artist, the film exemplifies the poetic documentary form to which Maldoror frequently returned.

There is a gap separating the surrealism from the Interwar period and that of the post-war era, and that is the way this movement would understand racial difference. At first, the other or "primitive" was the opposite of the bourgeois subject. In this documentary, Sarah Maldoror interviews one of the most influential surrealist poets from the former surrealism, while at the same time we witness the movement's anachronist views regarding the affirmation of other identities.
