Nyumba Ntobhu

The settings in Kiagata Village, Musoma region of Tanzania, and the short feature film is about Nyumba Ntobhu translated, ‘women marrying women’.

The film depicts women who opted to marry other women to circumvent violence. How they arrived at their decision is as varied as the individual stories of the women.
