Film description

In the hilltops of Burundi a group of miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt to takeover the regime exploiting the region's natural resources - and its people. When an inter-sex runaway and an escaped miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry.

A challenging tale of Afro-Futurism that feels like a cosmic journey and reveals its secret after a fascinating yet confusing start.
