The Last Words of Mohammed Sifah

Synopsis

“..no speak! They threaten me with their boots, and the gun. They take away my voice, everything! No voice, then what do I have? You, Ferenji (foreigner), you have to send our message out to the world.”

This is the story of a chance encounter between Australian filmmaker Amanda Walsh and Mohammed Sifah, an Oromo man living in Ethiopia, and its explosive consequences. Through his powerful words, we will witness political corruption at its most extreme. While human rights groups scream out for assistance, the Ethiopian Government receives a constant flow of funds in the form of foreign aid, the US its largest donor.
