Mshale, a Mount Kilimanjaro tour guide, dreams of
marrying a white woman and moving to the West.
Sprite hates white people and sets out to decolonize
what he deems “his mountain”. Henry and Frannie are
white missionaries who claim to be Tanzanian. As the
four journey up to the roof of Africa, the looming ghost
of colonialism dictates who gets to reach the peak,
and who gets left behind.
