SALVATION COMES AT AN UNHOLY PRICE when colonialism threatens a Southern African boomtown.
It’s 1895 when The Convert, a teenager named Jekesai, is thrust into strange new circumstances that pit Ancient African traditions against Western culture and Christianity. When conflict erupts, she must follow her heart and make the ultimate sacrifice.
With an urgent voice both heartrending and humorous, Obie winner Danai Gurira (In the Continuum and Eclipsed) brings yet another faraway world to the Kirk Douglas to enlighten, enrage and ultimately edify audiences.
