Once upon a time in the heart of Africa, in the middle of the world, along the Atlantic Ocean, existed an empire of great lakes, rivers, lions, leopards, precious stones and civilized people. The Empire existed a hundred years before the 15th century and was developed, powerful, strong and prosperous. It will be destroyed later by European invasion, slavery, civil wars and looting of its minerals. It is also known as the kingdom of Kongo, Kongo Dia Ntotila. Film Producer and Director, Ne Kunda Nlaba, a descendant of the Kingdom of Kongo and his team take on a journey in search this once great African Empire.
