Monic dreams of leaving her home in rural Uganda for a different life. So when a “friend” promises her a job in Dubai, it feels like the chance she’s been waiting for. Monic is elated, she is the first of her 11 siblings to travel abroad.  But just a few months later she is dead.  Her family is left searching for answers. What happened in Dubai? 

For over two years, investigative journalist Runako Celina has been uncovering what really happened to Mona Kizz - whose real name is Monic Karungi.  She delves into a sinister world behind the glitz and glamour of Dubai, where nothing is as it seems.
