Much like the previous Worship Africa DVD, this consists of a selection of well known worship songs performed rather anonymously by (largely white) Christian ensembles set to a selection of stills of either African animals or countryside. The images bear little or no relation to the lyrics of the songs and the whole thing is extremely unimaginative. If that wasn't enough, the menus of the DVD itself seem poorly put together and are difficult to navigate. Some might find these smooth renditions of "My Redeemer Lives", "Lord Reign In Me" and "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" relaxing but in truth this banal release is a gross misrepresentation of the worshipping churches of America.
