A Storm Was Coming is a fascinating exploration of colonial tension and heritage. The documentary weaves together the tragic story of Ësáasi Eweera, a Bubi king who stood against Spanish rule, and the murky waters of his death. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to absorb the historical context while the visuals create an atmospheric backdrop that is both haunting and illuminating.
