Now a distinguished astrophysicist, Thebe Medupe returns to the small South African town where he grew up during apartheid. With a deep respect for tribal myths and religions, Medupe journeys across Africa, sharing his scientific knowledge and insights with villagers as they explain their traditional stories about how the universe works. Examining everything from Namibian cave paintings to Egyptian monoliths, Medupe tries to bring science and native beliefs together.
