Mama C: Urban Warrior in the African Bush is produced by Joanne Hershfield.

"Mama C: Urban Warrior in the African Bush" was one of the documentaries screened at the 2013 Pan African Film Festival. It tells the story of Charlotte O'Neal, a former Black Panther and Kansas City resident who has lived in Arusha, Tanzania, for almost 40 years.

Mama C, as she is affectionately called, is an activist, artist and educator, and with her husband Pete O'Neal runs the United African Alliance Community Center (UAACC) in Arusha. The two, through the UAACC, have initiated several community programs, including a school, an art center and a recording studio that provides valuable resources to local artists. The center is also home to 21 children who live on the grounds full-time.

What comes through the most in the film, which focuses entirely on Charlotte O'Neal's life and journey, is that Mama C has had an enormous impact on the people who live in the Arusha area, as well as on the many visitors and volunteers who have visited the center over the years. With that influence, and what is almost a following, comes a large responsibility, which Charlotte O'Neal has embraced. While it would have been good to see more of the influence of Mama C on the lives of the many people that she touched, her story and her work are inspiring.

Charlotte O'Neal is currently touring the United States to raise funds for the center.
