Truck Mama

Zipporah Nyaruri / Kenya, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands / 2025 / 85 min.

Language version: OmeU

The film follows Eva, a Kenyan truck driver who has opted for a life that is still considered an exception in her world: transporting goods, being on the road, bearing responsibility alone. While her family initially views her profession with astonishment, she finds more than work behind the wheel. For her, her job means dignity, independence and space. Between dusty roads, phone calls with her children and family expectations, she struggles to reconcile care and freedom. The result is a portrait of a woman who asserts herself on her own path.
