Zipporah Nyaruri is an independent filmmaker and journalist.

In Truck Mama, Nyaruri creates an intimate portrait of Evaline; a female long-haul truck driver navigating a 30-foot rig across East Africa’s notorious ‘Devil’s Highway.’

Nyaruri’s background in journalism led her to her subject, but it’s Evaline’s own brave, spirited story that turns her from subject to narrator, as we follow her journey of resilience against all odds.
