The Black Hermit

About the show

Remi, the first man from his tribe to attend university, leaves for the city after his brother's death makes him responsible for marrying Thoni under tribal custom. Elders and a Christian priest persuade him to return and lead the tribe, but he rejects its demands and his marriage; after Thoni dies, he recognizes the depth of her love and his loss. The tragedy explores the pull between tribalism and nationalism in a newly independent country.
