Blood Psalms' full story
The fantasy drama was entirely shot in African languages, and it touches on various tribes as they migrated south from Kemet, which is now Egypt. These tribes were running away from the calamity in Kemet and Kush.
The series draws from elements of many African mythologies and looks at various tribes: the Kachi, the Uchawi, the Ku'ua, Chini and the Great Nziwemabwe.
In ancient Africa, one thousand years after the fall of Atlantis, the five surviving tribes face another danger: a prophecy which speaks of the end of the world.
Princes Zazi, daughter of the Akachi king, finds herself at the centre of the prophecy. She must save herself and her people from the end of the world.
