Three hours outside of Addis Ababa, a bright 14-year-old girl is on her way home from school when men on horses swoop in and kidnap her. The brave Hirut grabs a rifle and tries to escape, but ends up shooting her would-be husband. In her village the practice of abduction into marriage is common and one of Ethiopia’s oldest traditions. Meaza Ashenafi, an empowered and tenacious young lawyer, arrives from the city to represent Hirut and argue that she acted in self defense. Meaza boldly embarks on a collision course between enforcing civil authority and abiding by customary law, risking the ongoing work of her women’s legal aid practice to save Hirut’s life.

Yekebere Deha follows a deeply compassionate, principled man who consistently chooses integrity over personal gain. However, his unyielding morals constantly clash with a cynical society that views his selflessness as foolishness and his kindness as a weakness to be exploited.

It follows the journey of a young student navigating social pressures, personal relationships, and severe bullying by classmates in school while striving to overcome personal adversity.
