Justin Chadwick directs this heartwarming tale based on a true
story. Set in a remote mountain village in Kenya, the film tells
the story of 84-year-old former Mau Mau freedom fighter Maruge
(Oliver Litondo) and his determination to learn how to read and
write. When the Kenyan government promises free education for all,
Maruge decides that the time has finally come for him to go to
school. Fighting for his right to learn as vehemently as he once
fought for his political beliefs, he manages to overcome fierce
opposition and ridicule and enrols at the local primary school,
where he joins a class of six-year-olds as they learn the rudiments
of literacy. Naomie Harris co-stars as the school's impassioned
headmistress, Jane Obinchu.
