The Anlo Ewe people of Ghana's coast mark their escape from a tyrant king in Notsé, Togo, centuries ago, when they are said to have walked out backwards so their footprints pointed the wrong way. Weeks of rites, a cleansing day and a reconciliation ceremony end in a grand durbar at Anloga, where chiefs in kente are carried in palanquins under big umbrellas while drummers and dancers perform.
