Kimpa Vita: The Mother of the African Revolution

The fifteenth century was a time when the legacy of powerful African Kingdoms were wickedly invaded by the West. The African people’s rich and plentiful history was interrupted by slavery, genocide and the deportation of Africans to new and hostile lands. The Great Kingdom on Bakongo was no exception. A century later in 1704, a fearless young woman decides to fight for her country. For her ultimate fight and her ultimate sacrifice, she will always be remembered throughout her Kingdom as, Kimpa Vita: The Mother of the African Revolution. (Pan African Film Festival)
