Chumo

MFDI Tanzania's most recent film production, Chumo, is almost complete. The film tells the story of a young poor fisherman, Juma, who is in love with the most beautiful girl in the village, Amina. Although Amina has similar feelings towards Juma, her father does not want his daughter to live an impoverished life and would prefer his daughter marry Yustus, a wealthy, but corrupted man.
