Children of Ramadhan

Throughout the month of Ramadan, the largely Muslim island of Zanzibar comes to a standstill, as everyone gives over to fasting and prayer. This charming film offers a child’s-eye view of life during Ramadan in Stone Town, Zanzibar’s historic main port, and the eagerly awaited Eid celebrations that follow.

This film is presented in association with the Zanzibar International Film Festival and supported by the Commonwealth Foundation.
