The Warriors of Berom VR Film

 

The Nzem Berom is an important annual festival where the Berom people celebrate the onset of the rainy season and express their gratitude for a successful harvest. This vibrant occasion is marked by a gathering of local dignitaries, performers, and community members.

A key highlight is the appearance of 'Suga'—men dressed as traditional warriors and hunters, embodying the guardians of the festival. Their presence underscores the community's deep-rooted connection to hunting, a theme reflected in the names of many Berom people. These festivities serve to honor the gods, preserve ancestral heritage, and pray for continued abundance, all while reinforcing the Berom's cultural solidarity and reverence for nature.
