It’s a question that took the world by storm when Black Panther became a box office hit: What if African countries had never been conquered and colonized? Now, local filmmakers will give viewers a glimpse of that reality in a brand-new show.
Set 11 000 years ago, Blood Psalms tells the story of a fierce teenage African queen, Zazi, who battles a world-ending prophecy to navigate her people through complexities, politics, and endless wars. Award-winning creative duo Layla Swart and Jahmil X.T Qubeka are the brains behind the series, which started filming in April.
“Blood Psalms is an epic that creates and proposes a world of fantasy and high adventure rooted in African mythology and the preservation of the African identity,” Layla says. “The goal, for us, is to ensure the golden thread of Africa’s stunning history shines. The story not only entertains, but also contributes to the preservation of African culture and languages as authentically told by Africans, to be enjoyed by the world,” she adds.
