The Village Next To Paradise - iAfrica

In a Somali fishing village, a father’s pursuit of stability mirrors the precarious balance between hope and hardship.

In a coastal Somali village, a widowed father tries to build a future for his children while navigating poverty and conflict. His struggles mirror the fragile balance of survival in a place marked by instability. A quietly powerful film about family, dignity, and hope.

The screening opens with an introduction by the Saaxib community, followed by a video introduction from the director. Somali snacks will be available in Studio A.
