    GRANDPA WAS AN EMPEROR follows Yeshi Kassa, great-granddaughter of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, as she embarks on a personal quest to discover what happened to her closest relatives during the coup of 1974. While Yeshi and her older sister were thousands of miles away in a British boarding school, her great-grandfather was deposed by a revolution, setting off a harrowing chain of events that would put her parents and siblings in grave danger. For the very first time, the Royal Family examines the events that led to the collapse of a 3,000-year-old dynasty and reflects on how, against all odds, they were able to survive this turbulent time in Ethiopian history.

      All despots and tyrants eventually get deposed and executed, as they should. Nobody should be considered special due to birth alone. That power-loving monster could have stepped down decades prior to his overthrow, but he refused. He reaped what he sowed.

      @@Chris-ey8zf Ya, this. It's wild to me that in this day and age people so willingly kneel. It's absolutely insane that given our immediate history, the stuff we can see with our own eyes because it's within the era of film, about 50% of the population would beg for a second whipping. How can this be our nature?

      My friend - Ethiopia is still suffering from the poor decisions it made betraying the emperor. If there was no Emperor Haile Selassie there would be no Africa today. You fail to understand history. THe communist students are reaping what they sowed and Ethiopia still reaps tragedy since they turned their back on the Emperor. Life was not perfect nor is it black and white. In 1974 Ethiopia shifted from the history of humanity, Christianity, the Solomonic dynasty to a history of starvation , famine, and communist GREED and lunacy. Ethiopia has never been the same and will never be the same until the Crown is re-instated and justice returned.

    Thank you for making this. As an Ethiopian-American whose parents lived during the time of Emperor Haile Selassie and afterwards, I always wondered what it was like. Our history is so deep and full of sorrow. But it needs to be told. We sadly are seeing history repeat itself over and over. And I pray for peace and love to come back for Ethiopia and for the world. ❤ Thank you telling your side of the story. I hope we can continue sharing what happened.

The Kingdom of Jesus Christ of Nazereth, the GOD of the sellasies family is not one that Satan has any power over whatsoever. He's crushed, defeated, and waiting for his time to expire.
      Satan is not Gods enemey. Satan is man's enemy that God fought and fights on our behalf.

And Ethiopians saying she is Ethiopian Queen there is some link by royal line? Southern Yemeni look very much like these Royals from Ethiopia and Eritrea.

The position Ethiopia was put in and surrounded by European powers. You think this was an easy position to be in ? You think you could have done better ? Eritrea and Ethiopian people are ONE yet divided by foreign powers set to rip apart the country and they are still doing just that. If there was no Emperor Haile Selassie there would be NO AFRICA.

Under him, Eritrea's economy was booming, Asmara was great, and there was a large middle and upper class Eritreans in Addis Ababa and Asmara.
