Description
Pashena, literally "the dirt field", is a poignant coming-of-age tale set in a low-income township in Zimbabwe during the mid to late 1990s. Over five years, a group of neighborhood friends navigate the challenges of growing up amidst a community ravaged by the AIDS scourge and economic decline.
Through their shared passion for soccer on the beloved dirt field, Pashena's young protagonists learn to negotiate their love of self, each other, and community in a world that is increasingly difficult to understand. This powerful story explores the complexities of growing up in a time of great social change.
