‘Liberty’ unfolds in Tanzania and presents a rare view of the world of charity expats dispatched from
Scandinavia in the late 80’s. The expats set off in the service of a good cause, filled with idealism and
drive, but during the process, they run into a wall of opposition and cultural differences that gradually and
relentlessly wear away their enthusiasm in a heavy mix of gin and tonics, houses with domestic servants
and lewdness in the tropical heat.
‘Liberty’ reminds us that freedom is also “opportunity with responsibility”. Sometimes we have to go to
extreme before we truly understand who we are.
