AFRICAphonie Produces Historical Documentary on Kuva Likenye and the Bakweri-German Wars of the 1890s
AFRICAphonie (with an OSIWA support) Presents Kuva Likenye, a historical Documentary. Directed by Kome Epule Mathias. Editor: Njukeng George Njukeng. Script Consultant: Dibussi Tande. Narrator Muema Meombo. Executive Producer: George Ngwane.
A new Cameroonian documentary film titled “Kuva Likenye” has been produced. “Kuva Likenye” is a 30 minute documentary that profiles the heroic exploits of a mountain King called Kuva Likenye who mobilised an ill-trained ragtag army to stand up in arms against German exploitation of the Bakweri people culminating in the Bakweri-German wars of 1891 and 1894.
The production of this documentary film is motivated by the need for Cameroon to rehabilitate her unsung and unknown heroes in Cameroon’s history as well as contribute to the inventory of Cameroon’s cultural patrimony and national heritage.
The documentary film which is spiced with a narrative technique, interviews, live footages and animated cartoons is directed by TV Producer Kome Epie Mathias and produced by AFRICAphonie.

I am excited to see this movie. I did a paper on Kuva in college. He was one of the few Cameroonian leaders willing to stand up to the Germans. I admire his forsight, because most Cameroonians today in Cameroon and in America would rather be the white man's pawn.
