DOCUMENTARY SHORT IN DISTRIBUTION
Finding Ubuntu is a documentary profiling the personal journey of a Congolese hero, Maick Mutej, who emerges human rights advocate helping thousands of refugees in Malawi while in the midst of his own crisis.
When he arrives at the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi, he experiences the suffering refugees have long endured by facing food insecurity and a lack of jobs, schools and basic necessities. Through his tragedy, he finds his calling to improve the welfare of refugees by co-founding Ubuntu Nation, a project providing education, healthcare, housing, and nutrition to marginalized communities. The project is inspired by the Ubuntu philosophy, “I am because we are,” embracing our shared humanity and interdependence.
