View movie reviews Share This Page     In a small, remote mountain top primary school in the Kenyan bush, hundreds of children are jostling for a chance for the free education newly promised by the Kenyan government. One new applicant causes astonishment when he knocks on the door of the school. He is Maruge (Oliver Litondo), an old Mau Mau veteran in his eighties, who is desperate to learn to read at this late stage of his life. He fought for the liberation of his country and now feels he must have the chance of an education so long denied - even if it means sitting in a classroom alongside six-year-olds. Moved by his passionate plea, head teacher Jane Obinchu (Naomie Harris), supports his struggle to gain admission and together they face fierce opposition from parents and officials who don't want to waste a precious school place on such an old man. Starring Naomie Harris, Oliver Litondo, Tony Kgoroge, Sam Feuer, Nick Reding Directed by Justin Chadwick Running Time - 2:00 Genre - Drama Opened in Theaters - Friday, May 13th, 2011 Are You Planning to See This Movie?
