"Pumzi" is a 22-minute science fiction short film from South Africa and Kenya. However, you only need to speak English to understand what is going on in this work written and directed by Wanuri Kahiu. Or maybe not as the only interesting thing about this is the unusual premise of a futuristic film set on the Black Continent. The contents weren't better than in any other mediocre and generic science fiction film. Strange voices and modern set designs like in a world of glass simply won't cut the cake anymore. I cannot say that I found the story here remotely interesting. This is really a pity as, just like I wrote, this could have been a truly different and mesmerizing experience. Instead, it's more of the usual. Not recommended.
