Pili (2017)
Directed by Leanne Welham this film stars Bello Rashid, Nkwabi Elias Ng'angasamala and Sesilia Florian Kilimila. A single mother with HIV living in poverty dreams of a better life for her and her two children.
You have seen this plot before, a protagonist struggling to realise their dream and risking it all to do so, but likely never in the setting of rural Tanzania. The location and social class of the protagonist brings a fresh spin to the familiar story. Even if you know where things are going this film provides a different point of view.
4/5
