About “Tanzania Transit”

In this feature-length documentary, we follow Rukia, Peter and Isaya while embarking on a journey for three days and nights on a train crossing Tanzania. Rukia is an independent entrepreneurial woman, on her way to begin a new life. Isaya, with his grandson William, is an old Masai man heading back to the “bush”. Peter, a powerful preacher, makes money by letting his (poor) followers pay for his services. On the way they tell their life stories, which reveal the strength that is needed to survive.
