Inspired by Roots and Gone with the Wind, this powerful historical drama tells the story of Kendi, a young boy kidnapped from his village near the Congo in the 1600s and sold into slavery in America. Torn from everything he knows, Kendi finds an unexpected lifeline in music.

Taught to play the fiddle, his gift becomes more than survival—it becomes a force of healing and quiet rebellion. While performing on loan from his master at a neighboring plantation, Kendi meets Penny, a beautiful Creole French singer born free. Their instant connection sparks a daring plan for freedom.

At once a love story, a historical journey, and a tribute to resilience, The Last Song of Kendi is the unforgettable tale of a boy turned young man, who used the power of music to find hope, freedom—and love.
