Journey of Faith, Journey of the Universe
In 1880, eight-year-old Raju and his family board a ship from India to work on the sugar cane plantations in South Africa.
Little does Raju realise how this new journey to the ‘Dark Continent’ of Africa will change his life forever. Trapped by poverty and forced to grow up quickly, Raju works under a tyrannical hostile environment, facing the harsh realities of what it means to be an ‘indentured labourer’.
One summer, Raju meets eight-year-old Sipho, an African child who works as the kitchen boy for the white farmer. This unique yet clandestine friendship brings new joy to Raju.
However, things suddenly change… Sipho’s father is killed, the police close in to stop innocent protesters and in all of the mayhem, Sipho disappears.
Will Raju have time to save his family or go searching for his friend in the dark, forbidden forest?
Seen through the eyes of Raju, Uhambo – The Journey narrates a compelling story of an indenture child forced to survive the cruelties of slavery and injustices during colonialism.
