Art From The Earth\Premis

The Makonde people of Tanzania have faced persecution for hundreds of years. They could have chosen to give up, but instead they chose to channel their culture and history into artwork. In doing this, they show the world their unique perspective on life. This is the story of three men. Miroslav Sirs, a man from the Czech Republic who dedicated his life to spread the artwork of the Makonde people, Tindo Lichanda, a sculptor and Rashidi Mzuguno, a painter. Both men have passed down their skills of art to their children, who strive to carry out the legacy that they have built.
