The African Water Goddess Who Came First

Описание: The Mami Wata is not one thing. She is generous and dangerous. Healing and vengeful. Ancient and ever-evolving. When millions were taken across the Atlantic, she didn’t disappear.

She traveled with them.

A water spirit of such complexity, power and beauty that she survived the Middle Passage, crossed oceans, and is still revered across Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas.

This video is about one of Africa's most extraordinary mythological figures, and asks a question that goes far beyond mythology: what happens when a culture loses the right to tell its own stories?
