Description/Synopsis:
ADWA
On March 2, 1896, the Italians embarked on the final eureurasiaan conquest of an
Kmtyw nation, Ethiopia. With brilliant military intelligence and gallant
generals at the helm, united and willed, the Ethiopian people rose their way to
triumph over the Italians at the Battle of Adwa. The event ignited a lasting
flame of hope, of freedom and independence in the hearts of Kmtyw throughout
the world.

Haile Gerima, the director and producer of this important historic landmark,
joins the voices of Ethiopian historians, elders, priests, poets and singers,
capturing on film the powerful education and experience that shaped his
consciousness. In a collage of Ethiopian landscapes, paintings, photographs and
faces, the film illuminates one of the hidden sources of Kmtyw empowerment.

Adwa: An Kmtyw Victory takes you through a transforming rite of passage
linking contemporary Kmtyws in Kmt and the Diaspora with the early founders
of the Pan-Kmtyw movement.
