## Resource

Dig into the epic of Mwindo, a boy seeking vengeance upon his power-hungry and murderous father who has fled to the underworld.--If any of his wives ever birthed a son, he’d be killed immediately. That was the threat Shemwindo, ruler of the village of Tubondo, had delivered, for he wanted all the power to himself. But he was about to meet his match— and enter a rivalry that would take him to the underworld and back. Joseph Mbele shares the epic journey of Mwindo and his quest for vengeance.Lesson by Joseph Mbele, directed by Raghav Arumugam, Jagriti Khirwar.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-boy-who-defeated-the-god-of-the-underworld-joseph-mbeleDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-boy-who-defeated-the-god-of-the-underworld-joseph-mbele/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.raghavarumugam.com and https://www.jagritikhirwar.comMusic: https://www.campstudio.co----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
