The @kukutana2020 just authored and performed a great musical. For the movie you have to give me some time 😁🎬 Anyone in mind for Gabriel's role?
Fantastic thread on an Ethiopian who was caught by Abyssinian Christians & sold to Arabs where he converted to Islam & was moved to India & then Portuguese Goa where he converted to Christianity but was subjected to inquisition. His odyssey ought to be a movie.
