Untitled Zanzibar Carmen Project — Set in Zanzibar Island and taken from the famous Georges Bizet opera, Carmen sings traditional taarab music for tourists to make a living. The local football champion, Bakari, visits the island on vacation and tries to woo her, but her heart is taken by the earnest local policeman Oumar, who loves her but can’t accept her lifestyle. Her heart is set on one, but her future looks brightest with the other, and she has to find her own voice amidst the pressure.
