Africa's Hidden History: Sailing From Kenya to Zanzibar

This documentary sails the old dhow routes of the Indian Ocean, tracing Africa's hidden history from the Kenyan coast to the island of Zanzibar. Carried by monsoon winds and the scent of cloves, it follows a maritime world of trade, faith and cultural exchange. Through the voyage it uncovers stories that link east Africa to a wider Indian Ocean past. It is an evocative watch for anyone drawn to travel and forgotten history.
