“Pumzi” is a very interesting short film about life in Kenya after the world water wars. In a highly restricted underground community, a woman discovers a small seedling and fights to bring it to the dried out and barren surface. The short film is very pro and has that old school Moon feeling. “Pumzi” is being screened at the Sundance film fest and will I’m sure get a permanent host on the internets sometime soon. Ironic that a Sci-Fi short film of this quality can’t get a hosting in Kenya because the infrastructure there is, for now, too primitive. Wired has an interview with writer/director Wanuri Kahiu that is worth your time. Here’s a clip.
