UHURU

UHURU is an intimate and emotive portrayal of life with Parkinson's disease in Tanzania. In a country with limited healthcare resources we follow the complex journeys of three people with Parkinson's. From the devastating impact of their symptoms to the struggles of obtaining an accurate diagnosis, we finally see the difference access to life-changing medication can make.

The documentary UHURU is an output of the Transforming Parkinson's Care in Africa (TraPCAf) research grant at Newcastle University.
