700 Men

Set in Zanzibar in 1887, "Seven Hundred Men" follows Hamisi bin Amir and his friends as they sign on for what seems like a straightforward expedition with explorer Henry Morton Stanley. However, the journey into the treacherous Congo jungle turns into a catastrophic ordeal, revealing the brutal realities faced by the nameless men behind historic adventures. Told from the perspective of a man overlooked by history, the story explores themes of friendship, survival, and the often-unrecognized human cost of imperial endeavors.
