The film is about a small community in which the women get sold as wives, do all the work, and the menfolk soak up all the resources. It focuses on one family going through this life. The women start to discover they do have rights and can do much better for themselves, and the men realise it's time for them to change.
While the film is an interesting insight, it does have rather the feel of a public information film, explaining to these communities how they can change their lives. But then sitting here in England, I realise I'm not the target audience. It's a priviledge to be able to see a movie like this.
Plot summary
A woman single-handedly shoulders her family's burdens, without reward or thanks, to farm her husband's land and keep the family fed and cared for. She finds herself training her daughter to walk the same path she does. No school, all work. Pests threaten her harvest and are exterminated using a loan from the local women's Co-op. But when Manyusi squanders her prized harvest and schemes to marry off their daughter, Fatuma must enlist the help of her fellow ladies at the co-op to make things right.
