Uganda, 2020. Veteran Komakech ‘Abba’ Ogwang is haunted by dreams of battle. His granddaughter, Anena, urges him to share his long-buried story.
‘Baba, tell me your story of the war’
As Abba struggles to confront the past, he transports Anena to the fear and camaraderie of the jungles of 1940s Burma, where the King’s African Rifles, led by British officers, face the Japanese army.
