Film Synopsis
Under Four Trees
A film by Suzanne Cross & John Simpson
Under Four Trees is a film that captures the story of how Mrs. Zikhali started the Nkomo Primary School under four trees – one for each of the three grades and the fourth as her office; and how, overcoming numerous obstacles, she has built a school that is today a place of support and learning for over 900 students.
Background
