‘I know so much about the stars, yet I know so little about my own continent and how my people are connected to the sky.’ With these words, astronomer Thebe Medupe embarks on a quest to reunite his science with the origins of celestial knowledge. His journey takes him to the ancestral lands of the Ju/’hoansi in Namibia, whose ancient creation myths link terrestrial mysteries with the movements of the stars; to the Dogon of Mali, whose night sky maps provide signposts on how to live on earth; and deep into the Sahara desert, where a cosmic clock attests to the African origins of astronomy. A beautifully shot, densely layered meditation on the influence of the cosmos on our daily lives.
