CHIMOTO

THE PRICE OF A LIKE

In the heart of Lusaka, where the dust of the compound meets the neon glow of the city’s rising skyline, a new kind of gold rush is happening. It isn’t found in the copper mines of the north, but in the palm of a hand. For Chimoto, a boy with nothing but a shattered smartphone and a relentless dream, the digital world is a gateway to a life he’s only seen through a cracked screen.

But fame is a hungry god.

CHIMOTO is a story of two Zambias: the raw, honest struggle of the streets and the polished, treacherous corridors of social media stardom. It is a journey from the warmth of a mother’s kitchen to the cold, blue light of the ring light. As Chimoto climbs the ladder of influence, he discovers that the higher you go, the thinner the air becomes and the harder it is to tell the difference between a fan and a shadow.
