Uno’s World

Uno’s World presents the disintegration of a young single mother’s escapist lifestyle when she is confronted with the inescapable responsibilities of childbirth. This film is part of a series called Mama Africa, a groundbreaking short film initiative that brought together the incredible talents of six female directors spanning the vast and diverse continent of Africa. The six selected directors were from Burkina Faso, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe. The six short films challenge the stereotypical perception of women and the people surrounding them in Africa. Crossing language and regional barriers, each story presents an entirely different perspective and continental reality. Yet a common thread portraying the comic, tragic, and passionate side of modern life in Africa unites the whole.
