A Storm Was Coming

This gripping documentary delves into the mysterious death of Ësáasi Eweera, one of the last kings of the Bubi people in Equatorial Guinea, whose capture by Spanish colonial authorities in 1904 led to a century-old case that has finally been reopened. Through official reports contrasted with intimate interviews from the Bubi community, the film sheds light on the dark legacy of colonialism and the tragic fate of Eweera. With its formalist detective approach, "A Storm Was Coming" serves as a powerful indictment of Spain's colonial past.
