2026 African Film Festival Atlanta Shorts Program 5: "The Will Beneath" (Day 4)

From the venue:

"The Will Beneath"

In this bold reimagining of African history, Naomi has spent years silently enduring Cecil Rhodes’ cruelty, but beneath her obedience lies a plan for revenge. Turning his own excess into a deadly weapon, she joins forces with another woman trapped in his grip to orchestrate his downfall and reclaim the power stolen from them.
