Historical
The Bakiga Tribe is found in the magnificent Kigezi hills in southwestern Uganda. Back in the 1950s, young girls from the Bakiga tribe who would lose their virginity before marriage and end up being pregnant would be taken to the small island on Lake Bunyonyi which is the second deepest lake in Africa and the third deepest in the world. The small island locally known as Akapeene which means a place of punishment consumed many lives of young girls and their unborn babies some of whom would be victims of rape. Every girl had to guard her virtue which older men would then strip away. HYMEN is a story based on true events told through the eyes of Maria, a young beautiful girl, the only child of her father who only saw her as a gift from the gods and a means of riches. In this story, we get to experience the horror, pain, torture, and love cut short that the girls experienced.

"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.
