TUNAHAKI(2010)
Nine Orphans, One Journey, and the Power of Hope, Love and Resilience
TUNAHAKI Synopsis
Tunahaki is the extraordinary story of nine gifted orphans who are acrobats. We follow their journey as an American volunteer takes them from Africa to study with Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. They end up touring the States and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, more than enough to build a permanent home. But how have the kids' experiences in America affected them? And how will it change things back home in Tanzania? Tunahaki's heartfelt journey gives us something new to ponder as we reach across the world to help those less fortunate—is it always the right thing to do?
TUNAHAKI (2010) is a documentary film directed by Mason Bendewald, released on March 9, 2010 with a runtime of 1h 23m. It stars Abdul Hamza, Scott Fifer, David Rytula and Anna Hamza.
