[00:00:00]The greatest Pan-African visionary was destroyed by his own dream of unity.

[00:00:04]It's 1957, Accra, Ghana. A charismatic leader guides his nation to independence, the first black African country to break free from colonial rule. He builds schools, hospitals, and roads. He calls for African unity, inspiring liberation movements across the continent. His vision electrifies millions from Lagos to Cairo, but Cold War paranoia spreads.
