From TED Ed.
Dig into the epic of Mwindo, a boy seeking vengeance upon his power-hungry and murderous father who has fled to the underworld.
—
If any of his wives ever birthed a son, he’d be killed immediately. That was the threat Shemwindo, ruler of the village of Tubondo, had delivered, for he wanted all the power to himself. But he was about to meet his match— and enter a rivalry that would take him to the underworld and back. Joseph Mbele shares the epic journey of Mwindo and his quest for vengeance.
Lesson by Joseph Mbele, directed by Raghav Arumugam, Jagriti Khirwar.
