About

Partially blinded by an unknown illness aged 3 and sent out to work on the tough streets of Kano in Nigeria aged 9, Aisha Sani Abdullahi's life chances were not great. However, a chance meeting with a woman who could knit sent Aisha's life in a completely different direction.

About

Aisha's Song is an energetic and beautifully shot 16mm documentary that uses the sounds of street life in Kano in order to create a vibrant and organic soundscape.

Musically lush and uplifting, the film is a positive story of female empowerment from a place where women are too often overlooked.
