Zoals ze in haar dagboek schrijft en het publiek via voice-over hoort, is de prijs "60 schapen, acht kamelen, 100 geiten. Niet meer, niet minder."
 Als Nawi ontdekt dat haar vader haar voor een kudde geiten heeft verkocht, besluit ze op de avond voor haar bruiloft er vandoor te gaan.

title: Ūdens ir dzīvība. Masaju stāsts jeb lietu gaidot

overview: "Ūdens ir dzīvība" ir dokumentālā filma par Kenijas masaju tautu un viņu mainītajiem dzīves apstākļiem klimata pārmaiņu ietekmē, kā arī par Vasini salas iedzīvotāju cēlo mērķi – koraļļu rifu atjaunošanu. Daudzviet Kenijā lietus nav lijis jau vairākus gadus, un sekas ir ļoti skarbas. Mainās vide, un cilvēku dzīvesveids vairs nespēj nodrošināt viņu ikdienai un izdzīvošanai nepieciešamo. Izžūst upes un ganības, mirst lopi. Masaju izdzīvošana ir atkarīga no viņu ganāmpulka. Klimata pārmaiņu sekas nes līdzi ļoti spēcīgu un negatīvu sociālo ietekmi. Savukārt Vasini ir ļoti skaista, bet nabadzīga sala Indijas okeānā, uz kuras nekad nav bijusi elektrība, bet uz tās dzīvo 3000 cilvēki. Šīs salas aktīvie iedzīvotāji jau vairāk nekā piecus gadus veic unikālu koraļļu rifu atjaunošanas darbu. Viņi audzē koraļļu stādus, kurus, paši nirstot dziļumā, iestāda okeānā. Jau 2 hektāri koraļļu rifu ir atjaunoti, tie ir ieauguši un zivis ir atgriezušās. Zivis ir Vasini salas izdzīvošanas pamats.

title: Temple Road

overview: Temple Road is a journey into the heart of womanhood, taking its name from the road that leads to the temple in the director’s hometown of Nyeri, Kenya.

Celebrating the sanctity of community, it creates a sacred space where women express themselves freely through rituals, song, and dance. Temple Road is both a tribute to the past and a call to recognize women as bearers of culture and tradition amidst increasing violence against them in Kenya.

overview: a bold experimental short film that explores the fears, constraints, and resilience of womanhood. Shot on 16mm Bolex, the film confronts gendered violence and the subjugation of women through imposed silence. Through a series of abstract images—breast, breath and gold—the work captures the constant negotiation between vulnerability and power, safety and visibility.
