The mountainous scenery of Lesotho provides the canvas for director Andrew Mudge\u2019s profoundly visual story, which tells the tale of Atang: a young man obliged to make a pilgrimage from the bustle of Johannesburg to his native Lesotho upon learning that his father has passed away.<\/p>\n

There, Atang is reunited with childhood friend Dineo, with whom he discovers a romantic spark. But her disapproving father whisks Dineo away and sends Atang back to Jo\u2019burg. Resolving to win her back, Atang enlists the help of a young orphan boy to guide him through the arresting rural terrain. \u00a0The first film ever to be produced in Lesotho, The Forgotten Kingdom is a beguiling quest steeped in the history and culture of the Basotho people. – Cambridge Film Festival 2013<\/p>\n
