New York — The documentary Ethiopian Tenacity will be screened at Imagenation Raw Space in Harlem on Sunday, January 19th. The film focuses on the invasion of the city Wolwol during the second Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935.
“The Italians escalated the battle and were able to enter Addis Ababa on May 5, 1936, and occupied it until 1941. During the five year occupation of Ethiopia, Mussolini’s soldiers looted many artifacts and historical monuments from Ethiopia, one of which was the Aksum Obelisk,” states the event announcement. “The documentary shows the whole episode of the occupation, liberation, the return and re-erection of the obelisk in Axum.”
The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Producer Ato Tadele Bitul Kibrat.
