How I Saved Africa (18+)
Estonia, 2014, colour, 78 min.
Director: Kullar Viimne
Director: Kullar Viimne
Siisi is an active and attractive young woman who'd have enough energy to send Estonia's first spaceship to Mars. But instead, the urge to make the world a better place sends Siisi far away to Uganda, where she plans to open a café with the help of donators to offer work to the local young handicapped people. A witty and insightful portrait film by Kullar Viimne speaks not only of the clash of civilizations and the everlasting conflict of idealism and inevitability but also sympathizes with the hardships of one small Estonian girl in a big world.
