Shigey, Mijn Vlam plot

A portrait of the Eritrean musician Tewolde Redda, now living in Rotterdam. The song Shigey habuni ('Give me my flame') lives on in the hearts of all Eritreans, everywhere in the world. It has become a symbol of the long and hard struggle against Ethiopian rule. Today Eritrea is an independent country, but the composer and singer of the song, Tewolde Redda, seems to have been forgotten: he lives in Rotterdam alone with his memories, without wanting to sing his famous song anymore.
