Punishment Island

In remote South-Western Uganda, women who broke the taboo of premarital sex were abandoned on a tiny island to die. About to submerge beneath the waters of surrounding lake Bunyonyi, the island’s last wish is to find survivors before “her” story becomes but a myth.

ITALIAN:
Akampene, una minuscola isola in Uganda, sta per essere sommersa dalle acque del lago Bunyonyi. Prima di scomparire per sempre, il suo ultimo desiderio è rivelare la sua tragica storia sconosciuta. Le ragazze che restavano incinte, infrangendo il tabù del sesso prematrimoniale, venivano abbandonate sull’isola dove trovavano la morte; per fame o per annegamento. Una ricerca soprannaturale, guidata dall’isola stessa, conduce a Mauda, Jenerasi e Grace. Salvate da uomini poveri che non avevano la dote per sposarsi, queste tre donne riveleranno la storia segreta di Akampene prima che diventi per sempre leggenda.
