The short film is the reversal of the traditional colonization. It is based on a forceful and resourceful African empire that sailed across the seas, and landed on unknown territory filled with pale skinned people with flowing golden hair bright as the sun, in attempts to further their foreign control and elevate their world dominance. Their goal is to enslave the natives and to claim the land as their own with plans to revolutionize it, and further promote the worldwide image of the powerful and glorious, progressive African nation vs the universal image of lazy natives, in order to justify the subjugation. The relevancy is to shed light on the barriers in the worlds we experience based on which side of skin shade you were categorized by when colonialism took place and the negative effects such as racism experienced nearly 400 later.
