Souls of Sseko, directed by Riede Dervay, is set in Kampala Uganda. It is an inspirational and hopeful short documentary that details how the shoe company Sseko Designs has transformed the lives of the women working there. Paid hourly, working collaboratively, and engaging with diverse individuals adds depth to the stories behind these shoes, evoking warmth and compassion.
At just 3 minutes long, the film offers a mere glimpse into this world, yet it’s worthwhile. It explores the workspace environment, elucidating why it has such a positive impact and sheds light on ordinary women and their life journeys. The potential of these women shines through, emphasizing their resilience and determination for success. Through this documentary, I discovered Sseko’s initiative to support women in attaining higher education, broadening my perspective on this project.
I would have appreciated a longer runtime to delve deeper into the project and the women it supports. Nevertheless, the film effectively disseminates substantial information within a short duration.
Overall, this informative and captivating film earns a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
