In Search Of A Better Life: One woman's struggle to survive in Africa

Based on the true-life story of a woman born in Zimbabwe soon after it gained its independence in 1980. Aneni Chimwa grew up in a rural village in Mashonaland Central where her mother was ostracized for being a Mozambican foreigner and tormented for not producing a healthy son. Humiliation and condemnation followed. As her life's story unfolded, she faced exploitation because she was young, poor, and uneducated and then forced into marriage. Her story is filled with trials and tribulations that will leave you wondering how one woman could survive so much conflict. In a country caught between the Christian faith and traditional belief, she is exposed to witchcraft and murder. Her harrowing story is set in a backdrop of political turbulence but also explores Shona customs and traditions. Will Aneni's determination get her through the turmoil, and will she find the better life that she is searching for? Names have been changed to protect the identity of all those involved.
