About
‘Do you think history will build monuments upon which our names will be written, mine and yours, and every other sorry African who died in these jungles for the ‘Empire?’
Uganda, 2020. Veteran Komakech ‘Abba’ Ogwang is haunted by dreams of battle. His granddaughter, Anena, urges him to share his long-buried story.
As Abba struggles to confront the past, he transports Anena to the fear and camaraderie of the jungles of 1940s Burma, where the King’s African Rifles, led by British officers, face the Japanese army.
John Rwothomack’s (Far Gone) retelling of the East and Southern African soldiers who fought for the Commonwealth in World War II.
