[00:00:00] In the midst of this turmoil and uncertainty, a formidable leader emerged to take up the mantle of resistance and lead her people in their fight against the British oppressors. Queen Mother Yaa Asantewa, a woman of great courage, wisdom and determination. With the support and guidance of Queen Mother Yaa Asantewa, the Ashanti people united as one, determined to resist British colonization and preserve their cherished traditions, including safeguarding the symbolic and sacred Golden Stool, the spiritual and political heart of the Ashanti Kingdom.

Yet one thing remained out of their reach, the elusive and mysterious Golden Stool, which continued to evade capture and remain a symbol of Ashanti pride and defiance.
