COTTON QUEEN / SUZANNAH MIRGHANI
€0.00
In a cotton-farming village in Sudan, teenage Nafisa is raised on heroic tales of resistance against British colonizers, passed down by her grandmother Al-Sit, the village matriarch. When a young businessman arrives with a new development plan and genetically engineered cotton, Nafisa becomes the center of a power struggle over the village's future. Awakening to her own strength, she sets out to save the cotton fields — and herself.
