Abstract

In a vitrine at the AfricaMuseum in Belgium stands Ne Kuko. This mysterious power statue was looted from its community in Congo and has been trapped behind glass for more than 100 years.

The film THE STORY OF NE KUKO shows the mission of activist Mwazulu Diyabanza to get African objects held in European museums returned to their homeland.
