After the slave revolt of 1641, groups of enslaved black Brazilians escaped to mountainous jungle strongholds where they formed self-governing communities. This historic epic drama chronicles the story of the most famous of these African enclaves which flourished for several decades under the reign of the legendary chieftain Ganga Zumba.
