The Emperor's Birthday
Ethiopia | 1993
Most people believe Emperor Haile Selassie, ruler of Ethiopia, was murdered in 1974 during a military coup. But try telling that to the Rastafarians. To them the Emperor is the incarnation of the Messiah and still very much alive, In 1993, they descended on Ethiopia to celebrate his birthday. This film examines the Emperor's legacy and provides an unrivalled insight into the religion he inspired.
