Before Mansa Musa became one of history's most famous rulers, there was another man whose story began the rise of Mali. His name was Sundiata Keita. From a childhood marked by struggle to his rise as a powerful leader, Sundiata's journey became one of the most enduring stories in West African history. Exiled from his homeland, he eventually returned to face the powerful ruler Soumaworo Kanté. His victory at Kirina became a turning point in the rise of the Mali Empire. But Sundiata's story is more than the story of a warrior or king. His legacy was preserved for generations through the oral traditions of Mandé griots, blending historical memory with legendary storytelling. And centuries later, the empire he helped establish would produce another legendary ruler — Mansa Musa. Watch to discover the story of Sundiata Keita, the man remembered as one of the founding figures of the Mali Empire.
