Gogo

94-year-old Gogo ("grandma" in a local language; real name Priscilha Sitienei), an elderly midwife in a remote Kenyan village, resolves to attend grade school, aiming for graduation, and aiming as well to set an example for her great-granddaughters. Gogo never had a chance to attend school, and is dismayed to find that local girls, including her own descendants, give up on a good education too easily.

About as simple and sincere and frequently joyful a movie as you are likely to ever see. When you've had enough of Hollywood Glitter and Panache, you could do worse than spend a short evening with Gogo and the numerous girls, as well as the teachers and schoolmaster, and others who encourage and assist her in her quest.
