Pumzi, Kenya’s first science fiction film, imagines a dystopian future 35 years after water wars have torn the world apart. East African survivors of the ecological devastation remain locked away in contained communities, but a young woman in possession of a germinating seed struggles against the governing council to bring the plant to Earth’s ruined surface.
“….started off as a small script about what kind of world we would have to be if we had to buy fresh air,” – Wanuri Kahiu
A film about water wars from a country thats already been struggling with them? I’m interested!
