A story
brilliantly brought to life by Jayant
Maru.
Samantha (Sharon Detoro) is an
ordinary 17 year-old girl living in a
small village in rural Uganda. That
is until her father dies
unexpectedly. Staring in to the face
of poverty with no way for her and
her hapless mother to fend for
themselves, and no school fees,
Samantha ultimately comes to an
idea that has probably crossed the
mind of every Ugandan, somewhere
in the village, backed into a corner
by poverty; Go to Kampala City.
Having been shot down by her
mother, Samantha decides to run
away. When she flags down, and
enters that stranger’s car to
Kampala, she sets into motion a
chain of events that take her on a
gruesome journey. A journey
accentuated by rape, prostitution,
slavery, unwanted pregnancy,
battery. A journey that is every
woman’s nightmare.
