Kingdom Competition 5

MATA NYALA SHORT FILM

Origin stories are found in every culture that are important to recant, in order to understand the way we are. You cannot build a framework of your life without understanding how things work in the world. History paints us a detailed picture of how society, technology, settlement and government worked previously, of which we can understand better on how it works now. It also helps us to determine how to approach the future, as it allows us to learn from our past mistakes and triumphs as a society.
