Micere Mugo is one of Africa’s leading writers, poets, performers and one of the most significant postcolonial political, social and cultural thinkers. For close to a half century, she has been an eloquent voice in championing democratic and human rights.

This documentary records a story of Micere Mugo’s indestructible spirit; her life is defined by bravery with humility, passion with humility, struggles and successes, resistance and resilience, unbreakable commitment, temptations to surrender, and more importantly, honesty and forthrightness.
