SHAKARA

Shakara is 17 years-old and a school drop-out, who can no longer stand her poor mother with her “born-again” sister as squatters in a shanty, where the single mother toils to raise them with her meager income from being nanny and chief labourer for Madam Kofo––a drug baroness and socialite in the city that is split between the rich and the poor.

Shakara joins a gang and flees home; then the unexpected happens.
