Synopsis

'The Stolen Gift' offers a critical outlook on an African village, where one of its inhabitants, Kagaga, begins to convey ideas, principles and ideals to rescue his people from the recent predicament they have found themselves in. However, due to self-interest and lack of interest by the people, Kagaga is finally forced to abandon his ideals. Kagaga comes to symbolise the strengths we all strive for: courage, selflessness and the ability to fight for the rights of all people.
