When actor and philanthropist Isaiah Washington found out through DNA analysis that his roots traced back to Sierra Leone he set off on a path to visit his ancestral home. In the Spring of 2010, Isaiah returned to Sierra Leone to receive his Sierra Leone citizenship and passport and his activities were closely followed by the African Channel. Isaiah was honored to be the first African American to receive citizenship in Sierra Leone based on DNA. This program follows Isaiah Washington from receiving his Chieftancy to traveling back to Sierra Leone with Africa Channel executive and fellow Sierra Leonean, Shirley Neal who documents the ceremony where Washington receives dual citizenship.
