Leaving Africa
Finnish Riitta and Ugandan Catherine share a home, a sense of humor and a mission: advancing women's and sexual-health rights across Uganda. But as donor funding dries up and the political climate turns hostile, their life's work, and their partnership, is tested. Warm and often funny, the film follows two friends refusing to give up.
Why This Film Matters: It shows the unglamorous, on-the-ground reality of fighting for fundamental rights in the Global South, and the cross-cultural friendship that sustains it, a human story behind the headlines about aid and gender politics.
