Nyasha

At the age of 13, Nyasha left her home in Zimbabwe and came to South Africa as an illegal immigrant. The film follows her seven years later in her new, temporary home, the border town of Musina. Here, the strong woman struggles to find her place between the past and the future, between her dream of running her own beauty salon and the hardships of everyday life. And over and over again, she fights to be seen not as a migrant, but as a human being.
