- Mbambu is a sixteen-year-old girl who lives at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda. She is also an actress, an aspiring mountain guide and hopes to be the first in her family to complete secondary school.

If Mbambu becomes a guide in the Rwenzoris - an impressive accomplishment in its own right because the mountains reach to nearly 17,000 feet - she would break all sorts of cultural and societal barriers for women in West Uganda. As this film tells the story of a hopeful Bakonzo girl, it also examines a culture transitioning from harmful poaching practices into more sustainable livelihoods.

- The story of albinism in East Africa has been dominated by the one-sided approach of vulnerability, discrimination, stigma and exclusion. These people have only been described as victims, unable to influence their own lives, driven here and there by authorities at national, regional and local levels. It is time to change the narrative and instead spread stories that show the opposite, that there are actually people with albinism who have passed through school against all odds, they have overcome obstacles, they have families who support and love them, they have created themselves a good life. They are role models that can arouse hope, which light a spark in many of the children and young people who today live their lives imprisoned in sheltered schools where they rarely or never get the opportunity to meet their families again. These children and young people deserve to see what opportunities can actually await them in adulthood. This film will open a platform to marginalized group of people to have a discussion and understanding their role in the community despite their conditions. It is very difficult for persons with albinism (PWA) to have a voice in the Tanzanian society, since they in many situations are not listened to, facing discrimination and marginalization from early ages. The film is representing the voices and faces of of these people, proving to the outside world that they are a voice that will contribute to the development of a democratic society. The interviews has been done all over Tanzania, and during the roadtrip the film team stopped here and there to talk to ordinary people in the streets, about their views on people with albinism.

As one player declares, "Men who used to say you are hooligans, have no more words left". Muslim schoolgirls can now play soccer as part of their physical education, but despite limited football equipment and facilities, the girls cherish the freedom and the right to play. One schoolgirl reflects on how she "used to get irritated that only boys could play football." Another girl expresses her delight and pride that "Something great has happened to girls."
