This film chronicles the enormous importance of The Golden Stool, symbol of traditional power and spirituality for Ghana’s Asante people.
Since its creation during the reign of the Asantehene (King of Asante) Osei TuTu I, the Stool has become not only synonymous with the monarchy, but revered more than any individual king.
This film gives us a sense of just what this cultural symbol means for the Ghanaian people.
