Uhuru
Mshale, a Mount Kilimanjaro tour guide, leads an expedition to Uhuru peak, joined by Sprite, who sets out to decolonize his mountain, and Henry and Frannie, missionaries who also call Tanzania home. Uhuru is a dramedy that follows this unlikely foursome as they journey together to the roof of Africa.
