The Student Film category features short dramas and documentaries produced by students in FilmAid's year-long, Media Entrepreneurship Training courses in Kakuma and Dadaab Refugee Camps. The short films were produced by diverse teams of young refugees from South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Congo, Sudan, Uganda and northwest Kenya. Many of the young filmmakers have spent most of their lives in the refugee camps. The Festival is thrilled to be able to provide these talented youth with a platform to have their voices heard.
Months of lockdown and seclusion has kept Amina and her husband apart. Phone calls are the only thing keeping them connected to each other, and Maria connected to the outside world. Struggling to survive on rations that do not last the month, and in desperate need of money and medicine to care for their young daughter, Maria needs more than the calming encouragement of her partner. She needs a help line that can reach a higher power. Will her call for help be heard?
