Kaka

Duma, a farming community, is ravaged by banditry and a scarcity of potable drinking water.

Kaka, a schoolgirl from Duma village, is unhappy with her grandmother's traditional midwifery practice, which has led to the deaths of a few women in the village.

Will she give up on her aspirations as a young girl having escaped to the city, or can she reconnect with the path to her desired destination?
