Mangwana
Manu Kurewa
A car crash in the Zimbabwean bush brings a chance encounter between two men who have never met on equal terms. Archie, the aging Scots farmer, needs to get his truck out of a ditch but help is not at hand. He demands assistance from Sekuru, an elder of the local village, but nothing can be done till daybreak. Sekuru feels obliged to offer Archie shelter.
