'Save Mbango' tells the story of a young child (John) who becomes the primary breadwinner in a troubled household. Unfortunately, his aspirations and goals are thwarted by his dysfunctional and turbulent home life. Mbango, a country girl whom John falls in love with, has difficulties in her life that make John's seem inconsequential. As a result, John's life becomes even more complicated. He is divided between preserving his beloved and dealing with his problematic family. He's in a tough spot because of his gruff and alcoholic father, an irresponsible older brother, and cruel unmarried sisters. Nkanya Nwai, a multiple award-winning Cameroonian filmmaker, directed this film, which was shot in Mondoni, a remote town in Cameroon's South West region.
