At the heart of the film is the story of Princess, an intelligent and determined young woman who fights tirelessly to save her friends from the clutches of the drug underworld. Through Princess’s courageous journey, 4KUS encourages viewers to question societal expectations and advocate for the well-being of those around them.
What sets 4KUS apart is its unwavering focus on education and empowerment. The film’s primary aim is to inspire students to pursue their studies and resist the temptations of drug use, which have become all too prevalent in Zimbabwe’s secondary and tertiary institutions. By highlighting the consequences of addiction and the power of friendship and determination, 4KUS challenges the audience to find the strength within themselves to make a difference.

But the film’s impact goes beyond just educating the youth. It also serves as a powerful tool for the wider community, urging everyone to unite in the fight against drug abuse. The producers’ vision of an “Africa Says No to Drug Abuse” campaign underscores the film’s ambitious goal of eradicating this scourge across the continent.
As the film prepares to premiere in Bulawayo on June 8th, the anticipation is palpable. This is a powerful and timely story that resonates with Zimbabweans from all walks of life. By tackling a complex and often stigmatized issue with nuance and empathy, 4KUS has the potential to spark a much-needed conversation and inspire real change.
