The Bird of Sorrow is set in 1990s Zambia, against the backdrop of a failed military coup, electoral unrest and economic crisis.

When eleven-year-old Chimuka's father dies unexpectedly, it becomes clear that their seemingly ordinary family is full of secrets, which are not accepted to discuss even among adults. The mother and children are turned away by relatives on her husband's side. Although she tries to keep afloat, after a while she makes a fateful decision that forces Chimuka and her brother Ali to seek salvation in the darkest streets of Lusaka. They will have to learn to survive in a dangerous world of brutality and violence.

This is both a tragic family story and a national portrait of Zambia at a time when the country has turned its back on generations of its children.
