Written by Vayabobo. Directed by Vayabobo and Maurice Shaw. Story by Vayabobo, Shaw and Amen Santo.
In Brazil, 1675, thirty thousand free men and women, some Indigenous, some Black, have founded a nation in the jungle, a paradise called Palmares. Dutch and Portuguese colonists and enslavers have tried to subjugate the citizens of Palmares. The Dutch have been defeated and expelled. The Portuguese are more persistent. They offer peace in exchange for a reservation for the Palmarians. The great King Ganga Zumba would like to make peace with the Portuguese and avoid a bloody war. His General, Zumbi, distrusts the Portuguese and wants to fight. This sets up a power struggle between the two great leaders.
Can Palmares make peace with the Portuguese? Or have the colonizers and enslavers set a trap for Ganga Zumba?
