The Last Chihoro
By Tonderai Munyevu
A touching story based on true events. Tonde returns to his place of birth in Zimbabwe to bury his mother as she wished. But traditional funeral rites mean this is far more difficult than he ever imagined.
This unique drama, with original music is a powerful meditation on grief, tradition, and love.
