Malaika

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Taita Hills, Malaika weaves a poignant tale of love, resilience, and reconciliation. The story alternates between Becky’s defiance of her father’s oppressive rules to pursue love and her dream of singing, and her daughter Rose’s present-day quest for answers.

Through flashbacks, we witness Becky’s clandestine romance with John and the sacrifices they make to protect their love, leading to a heart-wrenching fallout with her father, Nyangala. Becky's final moments become a haunting reminder of the cost of unyielding pride and unspoken love.

In the present, Rose struggles to reconcile her mother’s dreams with the scars left behind. Her journey reveals her grandfather Nyangala’s torment and regret, leading her to the ultimate question: Can love truly heal, even when it's too late?

Through Rose’s narrative, Malaika paints a moving portrait of family bonds, the pain of loss, and the redemptive power of remembering, forgiving, and honoring the dreams of those who came before us.
