Umoja – force is born from unity (in Swahili) – film by the author, composer, performer and director Elom 20ce, the last act of the trilogy Amewuga, premiered at WILDE in April 2023 with the works and in the presence of the artists Rodolphe «Ezin», «Dodo» Adogli, Dodji Efoui, Amé Karaba and Emerson Lawson.
“I shot this short film with my savings. The one I wanted to buy a piece of land with. I preferred to create a moving space that, beyond a piece of land on the shores of Lake Togo, could touch our souls. It is dedicated to all those who risk their lives for our freedom.”
— Elom 20ce
On the occasion of Umoja, a tribute was made on May 18 for the 220th anniversary of the creation of the flag of Haiti.
