During the independence ceremony of the largest African colony, the Congo, a young man poses a brave act. He steals the sword of the white king, thus symbolically claiming the power. German photographer Robert Lebeck eternalized the incident in a single shot. 50 years later a film crew traverses the Congo in search of the sword and the man who stole it. They track down different suspects and hear amazing theories about the true meaning of the act. The quest finally leads to the heart of the rainforest, where their efforts are rewarded. Boyamba is a compelling and true whodunit that digs into African religion and the heritage of colonization. Written by Anonymous See less
