Event Description:

Obsessed with Jackie Chan and action films, terminally ill Jo, a brave
and witty 9-year-old, finds comfort in her dreams of being a
superhero. When her mother takes her back to her rural village to live
out the rest of her short life, her teenage sister Mwix motivates the
entire village of Maweni to make Jo's dream come true. Stunning
newcomer Stycie Waweru as Jo makes us believe that superheroes really
do come in all ages, shapes and sizes in this tremendously moving
drama. This honest and inspiring story about the strength of young
people in the face of adversity is brought to us by first-time feature
filmmaker Likarion Wainaina, with the help of co-producer Tom Tykwer.
Supa Modo won more than twenty prizes at international film festivals,
including the 2019 European Children's Film Association award. Age
recommendation: 11+. Content advisory: This uplifting film deals with
difficult issues, including the impending death of a child.
