Zanzibar Uhuru: revolution, two women and the challenge of survival

It is 1964, a month after independence celebrations in the spice islands of Zanzibar, off the east coast of Africa. A brutal uprising takes place apparently led by a shadowy figure, John Okello. In the capital, Stone Town, a British official, Mark Hamilton, struggles to help the Sultanâ€™s government survive while protecting his young family.
In the countryside, Ahmed al-Ibrahim, a Zanzibari Arab father, faces annihilation and a terrible decision. Fatima is his twelve-year-old daughter, and her life is changed forever by the violence that now sweeps across the islands. Fatimaâ€™s survival through this chaos and the thirty years of rule by despotic Presidents takes all her courage and the kindness of other families.
Elizabeth, Mark Hamiltonâ€™s young daughter, also remembers the day of the Revolution and their escape across the seas. Her story too is touched by tragedy.
Fatima and Elizabeth are connected in a way that takes almost fifty years to be revealed. Elizabeth will return to Zanzibar to fulfil her fatherâ€™s final request. The life journeys of the two women are different. The common link is the day of the Revolution and the act of a desperate man.
