Leaving Africa background

Leaving Africa

An unlikely friendship forms between two women from different backgrounds, a 66-year-old Finnish woman and a 63-year-old Ugandan, as they work together to promote sexual health and gender equality in Uganda.

Two friends, Riitta from Finland and Kata from Uganda, run a program promoting sexual health and gender equality in Uganda, despite Riitta being 27 years past retirement age. She has grown to consider Uganda her home, making the thought of returning to Finland overwhelming. However, their lives take a dramatic turn when they're accused of promoting child homosexuality through anonymous allegations sent to the Ugandan Parliament.
