Changing Shadows

Unfairly expelled from school by the nuns, Mwila's life is turned upside down after her induction to city life. However, she is eventually regarded as a heroine for challenging an old and primitive Bemba sexual cleansing practice. Mwila finds herself in the centre; between traditionalists, resenting Western-induced change and progressives, embracing Western values at any cost.
