The FILM: The Girl in the Yellow Jumper (2020) (Action | Thriller | 81 min)
A man reappears after being kidnapped, but you'd never believe his story. Unwilling, or unable, to explain how on earth he ended up in the middle of nowhere next to an empty, dusty highway, disorientated. Jim (Michael Wawuyo Jr.) finds himself in Officer Patrick's (Maurice Kirya) car, who offers to give him a lift.
As the two men engage in conversation, with Jim recounting his side of the story, more and more, sceptic Patrick senses that there's more to his wounded passenger than meets the eye. So, what is going on? Above all, what happened to the girl in the yellow jumper?
