NO SIMPLE WAY HOME

Director & Producer: Akuol de Mabior,

 Sam Soko, Tiny Mungwe, Don Edkins and Bramwel Iro

As South Sudan hangs in the balance of a tenuous peace agreement, a mother and her two daughters return home from exile. The mother’s mission is to safeguard her late husband’s vision for their people, family, and country. Her daughters struggle to come to terms with what it means to call South Sudan home.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
