Kobe Masalu

Africa, 16th century. Kobe Masalu, the youngest son of a chieftain, has proven his courage beyond doubt: he has defeated a lion in a nighttime duel. But his triumph is short-lived. When Portuguese slave traders raid his village on the Ogowe River, Kobe is taken away in chains, across the sea, to a strange world. A world of vengeful gods and burning hearts. In the scorching heat of the tropics, a new chapter of his life begins: full of pain, resistance and an inner strength that cannot be broken. Between colonial violence, lost homeland, and the longing for freedom, Kobe not only witnesses history he becomes part of a movement that changed the fate of the continent.
