Written, produced and directed by Stephanie Linus, DRY is based on a true story that follows a trail of Zara’s (played by Stephanie Linus) trip to Africa, her constant turmoil as a result of inexplicable horrors from her childhood, her experiences and heartaches while working with child brides, against the backdrop of a rich African culture. It is full of intrigue, suspense, surprises, the joy of reconciliation that is guaranteed to captivate and engage moviegoers.
DRY is now showing in cinemas nationwide.
