Details of the 2012 Cambridge Film Festival will appear here shortly

Since the age of 9, when she ran away from her home country of Zimbabwe, Og has lead a nomadic existence. Moving between countries and people, in an incredible tale that sees her falling pregnant when she was 14 and losing custody of her daughter, then eventually meeting director Carina Molier - her long distance friend - who tells Og's Story. Desperate to be reunited with her daughter, Og returns to her homeland - not only to fulfill her quest, but to face her past and her demons. It is through this search for inner peace that Molier is able to examine her, and indeed all our lives, in a beautiful film about being human. MY LONG DISTANCE FRIEND is not just about streetwise Og's story but identity, home, and finding oneself in the transient world in which we live.
