In the vibrant heart of Africa, the small village of Kosawa is under siege. Not by war or famine, but by an American oil company's unrelenting pursuit of wealth, heedless of the ecological and human devastation it leaves in its wake. 'How Beautiful We Were' by Imbolo Mbue is an exploration of resistance, unity, and the consequences of corporate greed. Through Thula, a brave child who matures into a fervent activist, we navigate the emotional landscape of a community determined to save its land and legacy. Over decades, Kosawa's struggle intensifies, revealing the poignant tension between progress and preservation, and between individual desires and the collective good. But the true essence of this tale lies in its unwavering faith in humanity—a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who refuse to be silenced. A reminder that, in the face of adversity, there's power in unity, and beauty in the struggle.
