From the outside, Mugisha’s life looks like a victory. Inside, it feels unfinished.
As suffering and change ripple through the place he left behind, Mugisha is forced to confront the cost of leaving—and the responsibility of returning. WHERE ARE YOU FROM? explores identity versus achievement, migration and displacement, faith versus action, and the truth that success means nothing if it erases who you are.
Visually grounded and emotionally restrained, the film blends intimate realism with cinematic beauty—quiet performances, natural light, and moments that linger. Though rooted in Africa, the story speaks to a global audience navigating origin, ambition, and home.
This is not a story about escape.
It’s a story about accountability.
About understanding that where you’re from is not a weakness—it’s a calling.
