A World Food Programme trial is under way in Karamoja, north-eastern Uganda, to try and limit food aid so it is only available to those considered most vulnerable. As part of the scheme people are persuaded to plant crops, start small businesses and begin building a self-sufficient society. But as Humphrey Hawksley reports, drought and crop failures have left some families resorting to extremes in order to survive.

To me, this movie is perfection.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
