The Power Stone: A History of the Kwanyama Kingdom

Directed by Andrew Botelle

The Power Stone, like the flag of a nation, represents the Kwanyama kingdom, part of present day northern Namibia and southern Angola. The stone was protected by appointed guardians close to the king for hundreds of years. In 1917 the last king, Mandume YaNdemufayo, fell at the hands of the Portuguese and British invaders, and mysteriously the stone disappeared. Found in a Finnish museum nearly 80 years later, this is the story of 'Emanya Lomundilo WoShilongo: The Stone that represents the Fire of the Nation. This documentary takes us on a quest to find the power stone.
