UHURU Recognised at the 14th Annual Social Impact Media Awards

We are delighted to announce that UHURU was awarded the Creative Activism Award at the 14th Annual Social Impact Media Awards (SIMA).

An intimate and emotive portrayal of life with Parkinson’s disease in Tanzania, UHURU follows the journeys of three people living with the disease - made more complex by the country's limited healthcare resources. From the devastating impact of their symptoms to the struggles of obtaining an accurate diagnosis, we see the difference access to life-changing medication can make.

We would like to extend our congratulations to Olz McCoy (Director and Producer), Dr Natasha Fothergill-Misbah (Producer), George Parker (Cinematographer and Editor), William Cammegh (Production Manager), and the wider production team on this recognition.
