With many Americans focused on national affairs, the refugee crisis in Africa can seem too remote to contemplate. Sauti presents an opportunity to change that with this view of life in Uganda's Kyangwali Refugee Settlement via the personal accounts of five young women brought there as children. Born in either the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, or Rwanda and forced into the settlement as orphans or displaced by violence, each finds her path and dreams of what comes next. How they cope with their lost homes and childhood and create possibilities for the future are the focus of this moving and inspiring story.
VERDICT A gritty yet colorful view of lives led as displaced young women in a temporary and foreign place, trying to understand how to survive and strive toward their future.
