For Achen, a young woman from Uganda, the invitation to a seminar on women's health at Johns Hopkins University in the USA is a long-awaited opportunity for a fresh start. During the seminar, she meets Kat, a white American and highly committed intern in the institute's health program, who wants nothing more than to travel to Achen's home country and help out there. At the end of the seminar, Kat is supposed to take the Ugandan participant to the airport for her journey home, but Achen has disappeared. Years will pass before the two women's paths cross again - with serious consequences. In «The Promised Land», Asiimwe Deborah Kawe tells of the lives of two women, of their hopes, disappointments, inner and outer struggles, and shows the gulf that exists between people with and without passports.
