Mshale, a Mount Kilimanjaro tour guide, dreams of marrying a white woman and moving to the West. Sprite doesn’t like white people and sets out to decolonize what he deems “his mountain.” Henry and Frannie are white missionaries who claim to be Tanzanian.

Uhuru is a dramedy that follows this unlikely foursome as they journey together to the roof of Africa.
