Tusamehe “Forgive Us” - A film about betrayal and consequences

Bilantaya and Salome - Tusamehe

Bilantanya Moses Bakeyemba, a successful individual from Bongoland living in the United States, marries Salome, also a successful career woman, from Bongoland. Soon they’re expecting their first child. Enter his ex-girlfriend, a lady who doesn’t particularly like his wife. She seduces him and he succumbs to the temptation. In a little while he realizes that he is HIV positive and has to face his wife with the truth.The film explores the choices that are made, the ways HIV can be contracted, and focuses on the ill-conceived notions people hold about how HIV is contracted. It is a sad but informative account of the devastating effect of AIDS as experienced through one victim’s harrowing journey on a very narrow one way road.

The film’s director, Joseph Kabira, shot this film on location in the U.S (in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota). The language used in the film is 60% in Kiswahili (with English subtitles) and English. The acting is pretty good and the message important.
