The Search For The Lost Crown Of Sierra Leone's Paramount Chief

Kings and queens continue to play an important role in modern-day Africa. Charged with preserving their society's cultures, they remain figureheads for many of Africa's 1.3 billion inhabitants. In this series, the Austrian art historian and photographer Alfred Weidinger journeys to Africa to explore the ancient customs of the African kingdoms. The three-part documentary introduces the viewer to a spectacular unknown world, a world that may soon become a thing of the past. In this episode, Weidinger also goes on a quest to find the lost crown of Sierra Leone's legendary ruler, Madam Wokie Massaquoi.
