The story of a revered South African chief, hounded and eventually squashed by colonialism is ripe for fable. A poignant chapter in a brutal history; ugly evidence of the cynical machine that chewed up lives and reduced one proud culture to supposed oblivion. The familiar spiral of evidence that has marked our human history: Might makes right and the corruption of greed enabling wholesale destruction; while simultaneously, almost as effervescent as the air (in the face of a beast), beauty, nobility and compassion still co-exist, even despite the turn of fate.
