Short filmTranscript
00:00In the heart of Mubaya, a small village in Tanzania, a baby girl was born on a stormy
00:06night. The winds howled and the rain poured heavily as if the heavens were weeping. Her
00:11father, Kafele, a wealthy and respected man, held her in his arms, his heart filled with
00:17both joy and sorrow. His beautiful wife, Jahar, had just taken her last breath after bringing
00:24their daughter into the world. She had whispered the baby's name with her dying breath, Zalira.
00:30Kafele was devastated. He had lost the love of his life and now he was left alone with
00:35a newborn child. But he promised himself that he would give Zalira everything, love, protection
00:42and a good life. He raised her with all the love he had. And as the years passed, Zalira
00:49grew into a bright and kind little girl. She had her mother's soft eyes and her father's
00:54strong spirit. The villagers adored her, saying she carried the light of her mother's soul.
01:00But Kafele was lonely. The pain of losing Jahar never left him. And soon, he made a decision
01:06that would change Zalira's life forever. He remarried a woman named Zenda, a woman known
01:12for her beauty and charm. To everyone in the village, she appeared kind and gentle. But
01:17behind her warm smile hid a heart full of jealousy and greed. At first, Zenda pretended
01:23to love Zalira like her own daughter. She smiled at her, held her hand and whispered sweet words
01:30in her ear. But deep inside, she despised the girl. She hated how much Kafele loved her.
01:36She hated how the villagers admired her. And worst of all, she hated the fact that Zalira
01:42was the true heir to Kafele's wealth. Zenda had her own daughter, Nia. A girl with a sharp
01:48tongue and a cruel heart, just like her mother. She wanted Nia to have everything. And for that
01:54to happen, Zalira had to be pushed aside. As the years went by, Zenda's hatred grew stronger.
02:01She watched Zalira blossom into a beautiful and kind young woman. And the more she saw,
02:06the more she burned with rage. She knew she had to do something before it was too late.
02:12She had to get rid of Zalira forever. Zalira grew into a young woman with a heart as pure as gold.
02:19She had her mother's gentle smile and her father's strong spirit. Everywhere she went,
02:25people admired her kindness. She helped the elderly carry their baskets, played with little children,
02:31and always spoke with warmth and respect. The villagers loved her, and Kafele was proud of
02:38the daughter he had raised. But in the shadows of their home, someone was watching her with burning
02:43hatred. Zenda. Zenda had tried for years to pretend she cared for Zalira, but it became harder with each
02:50passing day. She saw how Kafele looked at his daughter, how his love for Zalira never faded.
02:56No matter what Zenda did, she could never take that love away. And that made her furious.
03:03She wanted her own daughter, Nia, to have everything. Kafele's wealth, the villagers' love,
03:09and a bright future. But as long as Zalira was around, Nia would always be second. And Zenda would
03:15never allow that to happen. She started planting small seeds of doubt in Kafele's mind. At first,
03:22they were just little whispers. Have you noticed strange things happen when Zalira is around?
03:28She would say, shaking her head as if she were concerned. The storm on the night she was born,
03:34the sickness that spread last year. Maybe she brings bad luck. Kafele always dismissed it.
03:39But over time, Zenda made sure he heard more. She spoke to the villagers in secret, spreading
03:45rumours. Did you hear about the baby who was born on a cursed night? She whispered to one woman.
03:50Some say her mother died because the spirits didn't want the child to live.
03:54The villagers, always drawn to gossip, listened. Some believed it, some didn't. But the rumours
04:00spread like wildfire. Soon, people started looking at Zalira differently. When a cow got sick,
04:07someone muttered that Zalira had passed by its pen the day before. When a child tripped and hurt his
04:12knee, someone whispered, Zalira's shadow touched him. The stories grew, twisted by fear and imagination.
04:20Zalira noticed the change. She didn't understand why people, who once smiled at her, now avoided her
04:26eyes. Kafele, too, began to doubt. He loved his daughter, but the whispers reached his ears day
04:32after day. Late at night, Zenda would sit beside him, sighing softly.
04:36I worry for our family, Kafele, she murmured, pretending to wipe away tears.
04:41I love Zalira, but what if… what if these rumours are true? What if we are ignoring something
04:47dangerous? Kafele felt torn, but Zenda knew she was winning. She had planted the doubt. Now,
04:55it was time for her final move. One night, as Zalira lay asleep in her bed, Zenda stood in the
05:01doorway, watching her. The girl looked so peaceful, so unaware of the danger that lurked so close. A slow,
05:09wicked smile crept across Zenda's face. It's time, she whispered to herself. Zalira must
05:15disappear forever. That night, the air in the house felt heavy, like something terrible was
05:21about to happen. Zalira sat at the dinner table, unaware of the danger that lurked in the very
05:27food she was about to eat. Zenda watched her closely, her hands steady as she poured a special
05:33powder into Zalira's bowl. A sleeping herb, strong enough to make her unconscious for hours. Strong
05:39enough to ensure she wouldn't wake up when the ground swallowed her. Zalira smiled at her stepmother,
05:45her heart still pure despite the growing coldness around her.
05:50Thank you for dinner, Mama, she said softly, her voice full of innocence. Zenda forced a smile,
05:56her fingers tightening around the edge of the table. Eat well, my dear, she replied sweetly.
06:01You have a long night ahead. Zalira ate without suspicion. Within minutes her vision blurred,
06:07her head felt heavy, and the room began to spin. She tried to speak, to ask what was happening,
06:13but her tongue felt thick. Then, darkness. She slumped forward, her breathing slow, her body limp.
06:21Zenda stood up, her eyes gleaming with triumph. Batuu, she whispered. A tall, muscular man stepped
06:28out from the shadows. Batuu, her most loyal servant, a man who never questioned her orders.
06:34It's time, she said coldly. Without hesitation, Batuu lifted Zalira's lifeless body and carried her
06:42out into the night. The journey to the forest was long and silent. The only sounds were the rustling
06:48leaves and the distant calls of night creatures. Zenda led the way, her heart pounding with excitement.
06:55Batuu walked behind her, carrying the girl as if she were nothing more than a sack of rice.
07:00Deep in the forest, they stopped. A large hole gape before them, its edges rough and freshly dug.
07:07Zenda had prepared it earlier that day, working in secret, making sure no one would ever find it.
07:13She turned to Batuu and nodded. Without hesitation, Batuu dropped Zalira's body into the grave.
07:19She landed with a soft thud, her dress spreading around her like broken wings.
07:24For a moment, there was silence. Then Zenda took a deep breath and grabbed a handful of dirt.
07:30With a wicked smile, she threw it down. Batuu followed, scooping large shovelfuls of soil,
07:36covering Zalira inch by inch. As the dirt piled higher, Zenda's laughter filled the air.
07:43It started as a chuckle, then grew into something dark and twisted.
07:47No one will ever hear from you again, my dear, she whispered. Sleep well, forever.
07:54The last bit of soil was packed in, and the ground looked untouched. No one would ever guess
07:59that beneath it lay a young girl, buried alive by the one who was supposed to care for her.
08:05Satisfied, Zenda dusted off her hands and turned to Batuu. It's done. Let's go. And with that,
08:13they disappeared into the night, leaving Zalira alone in the cold, suffocating darkness.
08:20Zalira's eyes fluttered open, but there was nothing but darkness. Heavy, crushing darkness.
08:27Her lungs burned as she tried to breathe, but all she inhaled was dust. Panic surged through her as
08:33she realised. She couldn't move. She couldn't scream. The weight of the earth pressed against
08:39her chest, stealing the air from her body. Then it hit her. She had been buried alive.
08:45Terror gripped her heart as memories flashed through her mind. Her stepmother's warm smile.
08:50The food she ate. The dizziness. The blackness. And now, this. A cold grave. A silent death.
08:58No. She couldn't die like this. Her fingers twitched, then curled into fists. Summoning every
09:05ounce of strength, she began to claw at the dirt above her. Her nails scraped against the soil.
09:11Her arms trembling with the effort. The weight was unbearable, pressing down on her like the hands
09:17of death itself. Her heartbeat thundered in her ears. Every second that passed stole more air.
09:23More life. She had to move faster. Desperation took over. She dug frantically. Her fingers raw and
09:30bleeding. Her lungs screaming for air. The dirt poured into her mouth. Her nose. Her eyes. Every
09:37breath was a battle. Every movement a fight against the grave that was swallowing her whole.
09:43Just when she thought she couldn't go on. When her limbs were ready to give up. Something strange
09:48happened. A surge of energy shot through her. A force she couldn't explain. It was as if something
09:55or someone was helping her. The soil around her loosened. A cool breeze seemed to brush against
10:01her face. Whispering. Keep going. Don't stop. With renewed strength, she pushed harder. Her fingers
10:09breaking through the surface. Fresh air rushed in, filling her lungs. She gasped, choking on the mix of
10:17relief and exhaustion. With one final push, she dragged herself out of the grave, collapsing onto
10:23the cold, damp ground. Her body trembled, covered in dirt and sweat. Her breath coming in ragged sobs.
10:30She was alive. But she wasn't safe. Lying there in the moonlit forest, she realised the truth.
10:36Zenda had tried to kill her. The mother she had trusted, the woman she had loved, had buried her alive
10:42and left her to die. Rage boiled inside her, hotter than the fear that had once consumed her. She wasn't
10:49just a girl who had escaped death. She was someone who had been reborn. Zalira wiped the dirt from her
10:55face. Her eyes burning with new purpose. She had been buried like a helpless girl. But she would rise
11:01like something else. Something stronger. Something unstoppable. Zalira's body ached as she crawled forward.
11:09Her fingers sinking into the damp earth. Every breath felt like fire in her lungs. Every movement
11:15a battle against the exhaustion weighing her down. She didn't know where she was going. All she knew
11:21was that she had to keep moving. She had to survive. The night was silent, except for the distant howls of
11:27wild animals. The trees swayed in the cold breeze, their twisted branches casting eerie shadows.
11:34Zalira's vision blurred, her body too weak to go on. Just as she felt herself slipping into darkness
11:40again, a voice broke through the silence. Oh, my child! A figure emerged from the trees. Her long cloak
11:49dragging against the ground. The woman's face was wrinkled with age. Her eyes sharp and knowing. Her grey hair
11:56flowed like silver threads. And in her hand, she carried a wooden staff. She knelt beside Zalira, gently brushing
12:03the dirt from her face. You should be dead, the old woman whispered. Her voice filled with both wonder and sorrow.
12:11Zalira tried to speak, but her throat was too dry. She could only stare as the woman lifted her effortlessly, as if she weighed nothing. The last thing she saw before losing consciousness was the woman's wise eyes
12:15watching her with something that felt like destiny. When Zalira woke up, she was wrapped in a warm blanket, lying on a soft bed made of animal skins. The air smelled of herbs and burning wood. She blinked, confused. Was she dreaming? You are awake, the same voice spoke.
12:22Zalira turned her head. Zalira turned her head and saw the old woman sitting near a small fire, stirring a pot of thick, fragrant soup.
12:29What she saw before losing consciousness was the woman's wise eyes watching her with something that felt like destiny. When Zalira woke up, she was wrapped in a warm blanket, lying on a soft bed made of animal skins. The air smelled of herbs and burning wood. She blinked, confused. Was she dreaming? You are awake, the same voice spoke.
12:45Zalira turned her head and saw the old woman sitting near a small fire, stirring a pot of thick, fragrant soup. The flickering flames made her face look both kind and mysterious.
12:56Who… who are you? Zalira croaked, her voice barely above a whisper. The woman smiled, her eyes filled with secrets.
13:03I am Mama Lethu, she said. And you, my dear child, are not just a girl who escaped death. You are something more. Zalira swallowed hard.
13:12I don't understand. Mama Lethu handed her a bowl of soup, watching as Zalira sipped it eagerly, the warmth spreading through her cold body. Then the old woman leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper.
13:25They buried you, she said, but the earth did not keep you. That means you have been chosen. Zalira's heart pounded. Chosen? For what? Mama Lethu's eyes darkened.
13:35For something greater than you can imagine. The ones who tried to kill you made a mistake. She reached out and touched Zalira's hand.
13:42You were buried, but you must rise stronger. A strange energy filled the room.
13:48Zalira didn't know why, but she believed Mama Lethu's words. She wasn't just a girl who had survived. She was someone who would make them all regret ever trying to kill her.
13:58The days passed slowly. But Zalira was no longer the weak girl who had crawled out of the grave. Under Mama Lethu's guidance, she became something else. Something stronger.
14:09At first, her body resisted. Her muscles ached and her hands trembled. But she pushed through the pain. Mama Lethu taught her how to move silently through the forest. How to read the whispers of the wind. And how to make herself invisible in the shadows.
14:25The world is cruel to those who show weakness. Mama Lethu would say. You must become the storm. Not the victim of it. Zalira learned how to hunt. How to build shelter. And how to survive. With nothing but the land around her.
14:40She no longer feared the darkness of the night. Or the unknown creatures hiding in it. She became one with the wild. Her senses sharper. Her instincts stronger.
14:50But Mama Lethu's training was not just about survival. Your body is strong now. She said one evening as they sat by the fire. But strength alone will not defeat those who betrayed you. You must learn the art of deception.
15:05Zalira listened closely. She learned how to mask her emotions. How to make people believe what she wanted them to believe. She practiced controlling her voice. Her expressions. And her presence.
15:17The most dangerous weapon. Mama Lethu told her. Is not the sword. It is the mind. Zalira absorbed every lesson like dry earth soaking up rain. She was no longer just a girl. She was a force. Waiting to strike.
15:32One night. As she stood before Mama Lethu. Dressed in a dark cloak. Her hair tied back. Her once soft eyes now sharp and fearless. The old woman smiled.
15:42You are ready. Zalira took a deep breath. Feeling the weight of her journey. The girl who had been buried in the forest was gone. In her place stood a woman who had risen from the grave. Stronger than ever. She turned toward the path leading back to Mubaya. It was time to return. It was time to make them pay.
16:00The sun hung low over Mubaya. As villagers gathered in the market square. Their voices buzzing with gossip. Life had gone on as usual since Zalira's mysterious disappearance. Some believed she had run away. Others whispered that she had been cursed. But no one expected what happened that day.
16:20A tall, confident woman strode into the village. Her dark cloak billowing behind her. Her presence was commanding. Her eyes sharp like a hunter who had returned for her prey.
16:32She walked with purpose. Her chin high. Her steps firm. People stopped in their tracks. Staring. Something about her was familiar. Yet different. Like a ghost walking in daylight. Then she spoke.
16:44I am Zalira.
16:45I am Zalira. Gasps filled the air. A woman dropped the basket she was carrying. Spilling yams onto the ground. Children clung to their mothers. Sensing the tension in the air. The men exchanged nervous glances. Their faces pale with shock. Zalira. That was impossible. Zalira was dead.
17:03Someone ran to the great house where Kafele and Zalira lived. The news reached them like wildfire. Kafele rushed out. His heart pounding. While Zalira froze. Her blood turning to ice. When Kafele stepped into the square and saw the woman before him. His breath caught in his throat. He had loved his daughter dearly. But the girl he remembered had been soft. Innocent. And fragile. The woman standing before him was nothing like that.
17:31She looked like she had walked through fire and come out stronger. This is a trick. Zenda shrieked. Her face pale as she clutched her chest. The sight of Zalira. Alive and unharmed. Made her knees go weak. The world around her spun. And before anyone could react. She collapsed onto the ground. The villagers muttered amongst themselves. Eyes darting between the unconscious woman. And the stranger. Who called herself. Zalira.
17:58Kafele took a step forward. His eyes filled with both hope and doubt. If you are truly my daughter. He said. His voice shaking. Then prove it. A slow smile spread across Zalira's lips. She had been waiting for this moment. She stepped closer to her father. Her voice steady. And strong.
18:15Do you remember Baba. The night you sat beside my bed when I was a child. You told me that no matter how dark the night was. The sun would always rise again. You said that I was your morning sun. Your light in the darkness.
18:28Kafele's eyes widened. His lips parted. But no words came out. No one else knew those words. It was a secret between him and his daughter. His hands trembled as he reached out.
18:38Zalira. Zalira. A single tear escaped from his eye. But Zalira did not flinch. She had come back from the dead. Not for love. But for justice.
18:47She turned her gaze towards Zenda. Who was slowly regaining consciousness.
18:51The moment their eyes met. Zenda knew. Her nightmare had just begun. Silence fell over the village. As Zalira stepped forward. Her eyes locked on Zenda.
19:02The woman who had tried to kill her now looked small. Fragile. Like a cornered animal. But Zalira felt no pity. Not after what she had been through. Not after clawing her way out of the grave. Zenda had thrown her into.
19:17With a steady voice that carried through the crowd. Zalira spoke.
19:21This woman, she said, pointing at Zenda, is a murderer. Gasps rippled through the villagers. Whispers turned into murmurs. And soon, shocked voices filled the air.
19:34Kafele's face turned pale. His hands clenched into fists. What are you saying? he asked. His voice barely above a whisper. Zalira didn't hesitate. Zenda drugged me. She made me weak.
19:47Then, with the help of her servant, she carried me deep into the forest and buried me alive. The crowd erupted into chaos. She buried her alive. Zenda tried to kill Zalira.
20:00This is evil! Zenda shook her head violently, stumbling backward.
20:05She's lying! she screeched. She's a witch! A demon! That's not Zalira!
20:11Zalira! But Zalira wasn't finished. She turned to the villagers, her voice rising.
20:16For years, Zenda has controlled this village with fear. She made you believe in curses and bad luck.
20:24She made my father doubt me. And when that wasn't enough, she tried to erase me from existence.
20:30Kafele's face twisted in horror. He looked at Zenda as if seeing her for the first time.
20:36His voice trembled. Tell me it's not true, Zenda. But Zenda had no words. She had spent years weaving
20:43lies, manipulating, deceiving. But now, faced with the truth, she had nothing. Her lips trembled,
20:51her body shaking as the villagers closed in. Their eyes filled with rage.
20:56We believed you! one man shouted. We feared you! a woman added.
21:01But all this time, you were the real monster, another hissed. Zenda looked around, her breath
21:08coming in short gasps. She had always held power over the people, but now that power was crumbling.
21:14She turned to Kafele, her eyes desperate. My love! But Kafele cut her off with a raised hand.
21:21His voice was cold, final. You are no wife of mine. He stepped closer, his eyes dark with guilt.
21:28I let you poison my mind against my own daughter. I let you fill my heart with doubt. And for that,
21:34I will never forgive myself. His voice hardened. But you, I will make sure you pay.
21:40Zenda fell to her knees, shaking her head. Please, Kafele. No! he roared. You are banished from
21:47Mubaya. You will never step foot in this village again. The villagers cheered in agreement. Zenda
21:52screamed in fury, but it was useless. The same people who had once feared her now dragged her
21:58away, her screams fading into the distance. Zelyra stood tall, watching. Justice had been served,
22:05but she wasn't done yet. This was just the beginning. The village square was alive with murmurs
22:10as the people surrounded Batu, Zenda's most trusted servant. His face was drenched in sweat,
22:16his hands shaking as he stood before Kafele and Zelyra. The weight of his secrets had finally crushed
22:22him. And now there was nowhere left to run. I… I did it! Batu stammered, his voice breaking.
22:30I helped Zenda bury Zelyra. A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Some stepped back in
22:36horror. Others clenched their fists in rage. Kafele's face darkened, his body trembling with
22:41barely contained fury. Zelyra, standing tall beside her father, watched Batu with cold,
22:48unreadable eyes. She made me do it, Batu continued desperately. She said if I refused, she would have
22:55me killed. I was weak. I let fear control me. But I swear, I never wanted Zelyra to die. Zelyra took a
23:02step forward, her gaze piercing. And yet, she said, her voice calm but deadly, you still dug the grave.
23:10You still covered me in dirt and left me to die. Batu fell to his knees, his face twisted in shame.
23:16Forgive me, he begged. Please, I will do anything to make it right. The villagers roared in anger.
23:23No mercy, someone shouted. Let him pay for his crimes, another added. But Zelyra raised her hand,
23:31silencing them. She stared down at Batu, the man who had once stood by Zenda's side. And then she spoke.
23:37I will not waste my breath hating you, Batu. You will live with your guilt. And that will be a worse
23:43punishment than death. Batu's head dropped, his body shaking with sobs. He knew she was right. He
23:49would carry the weight of his actions for the rest of his life. As the villagers processed what had just
23:54happened, a shift occurred. Their fear of Zenda and her dark whispers vanished, replaced by something
24:01new. Admiration. They turned to Zelyra, their voices rising with pride and respect.
24:07She survived the grave. She is the girl who defied death. She is stronger than all of us.
24:13A chant began, growing louder, until the entire village echoed with her name.
24:18Zelyra! Zelyra! Zelyra! Zelyra!
24:22Kafele, his heart heavy with guilt but also swelling with pride, turned to his daughter. Tears welled in
24:28his eyes. I failed you, my child, he whispered. But I will not fail you again. Before the entire village,
24:35he raised his hands and spoke with authority. Zelyra is my blood, my true heir. From this day forward,
24:43everything that belongs to me shall be hers. A stunned silence followed, before another wave
24:48of cheers erupted. But not everyone celebrated. In the distance, Nia, Zenda's daughter, stood frozen,
24:56her face pale with shock. Zenda had been destroyed. Batu had confessed. Zelyra had won. But this was not
25:04just a victory. This was justice. The sun rose over Mubaya, casting golden light over the village that had
25:12once turned its back on Zelyra. But now, they looked at her with admiration, with respect, with awe.
25:19She was no longer the weak girl they had ignored. She was the girl who had defied death. The girl
25:26who had crawled out of the grave and taken back her life. With her inheritance, Zelyra did not build a
25:33palace for herself. She did not seek revenge on those who had doubted her. Instead, she built something
25:39far greater. A refuge for young girls who had been cast aside, mistreated or forgotten. She opened her
25:46home to them. Taught them to be strong. To fight for themselves. To never let fear control their fate.
25:53One evening, as the villagers gathered in the square, Zelyra stood before them. Her voice was steady,
26:00her eyes burning with determination. No one, she declared, will ever bury an innocent girl again.
26:07Not in this village. Not anywhere. The crowd fell silent, hanging on to her every word. Some had once
26:14feared her. Some had doubted her. But now, they saw the truth. Zelyra was not just a survivor. She was a
26:20warrior. A protector. A symbol of hope. Her story spread far beyond Mubaya. Traveling across villages,
26:27towns and cities. People spoke of the girl who had been buried alive, but refused to die. Mothers
26:33whispered her name to their daughters, telling them to be strong like Zelyra. And so, she became more
26:40than just a woman. She became a legend. A name that would never be forgotten. A story that would be told
26:46for generations.
