STARS
                    So the story goes, the Nommo were migrants from across the cosmos sailing the sky to planet Earth, descendants from a star that you and I cannot see – with the naked eye at least – Sirius B. For thousands of years we could see Sirius A but Sirius B was known only to the Dogon of Mali. And how did the Dogon know? They were told by the Nommo.
STARS tells of the Nommo – extraterrestrial Afro-hermaphrodite anthro-amphibian migrants: both female and male, of land and of sea, like humans and fish, with feet and fins, scales and skin, ancestor aliens, rainbow chameleons. This is a queer African tale of tails, told through hand-drawn animation, dance music beats, and magical poetry.
