This is the heartwarming
and inspiring true story of one man's fight for what he believes is his right
in order to overcome the burdens of his past. It is a triumphant testimony to
the transforming force of education.
In a small, remote
mountain top primary school in the Kenyan bush, hundreds of children are
jostling for a chance for the free education newly promised by the Kenyan
government. One new applicant causes astonishment when he knocks on the door of
the school. He is Maruge (Oliver Litondo), an old Mau Mau veteran in his
eighties, who is desperate to learn to read at this late stage of his
life. He fought for the liberation of his country and now feels he must
have the chance of an education so long denied - even if it means sitting in a
classroom alongside six-year-olds. Directed by Justin Chadwick, PG-13, 103
minutes
