The Last Kings Of Mali: The Fascinating History Of Africa's Remaining Monarchs

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, the team attends what may be the last-ever coronation of a Hogon, a spiritual leader, in Mali. The fascinating three-parter is an attempt of an adventurer with a passion for people and art to explore the battle between traditional and modern ways of life, and to celebrate the similarities shared by people across the world.
