Through My Eyes - Segment #1 - Amina
For Amina, the bustle of a busy suburb of Kampala appears to mirror her own state of mind. On the streets, men make sexual advances at her; at school, a teacher targets her as the object of his desire. Amina is a story of many young girls in Uganda who struggle to escape the sexual violence that they encounter from all corners of their day-to-day lives. It portrays the ingenuity they must summon, the odds they have to beat to simply have access to opportunities to fulfil their ambitions.

Through My Eyes - Segment #2 - Festus
Around the beautiful hills on the shores of Lake Bunyonyi in Western Uganda, the sight of the sunset conjures sad memories for Festus. After losing both parents, Festus' aunt agrees to 'take him in', together with his parents' property. This is about grief and one child's struggle to retain dignity in the face of adults' inhumanity.
