Filming in the village of Ahora near Golden Mountain in Tigray, Ethiopia. There was a very bloody battle here on February 28th 1914. 98 years later there are still bones of soldiers found. It is the site where my great great great grandfather Ras Sebhat died. Residents of Ahora recounted the story of the war.
I like that we made this visit a surprise visit. A big thank you to the whole community for their very warm welcome. Everywhere we went people offered us room in their home and food. One relative insisted I tell him whenever it is that I plan to return because they'll plan a big party with food, music and dancing! How lovely.
