Jo is a young girl living in a small village in Kenya. It is her dream to become a super-hero, but unfortunately these ambitions are hindered by her impending terminal illness. The whole village is plotting a genius plan with the goal to make her wish come true.
Supa Modo was produced as part of the One Fine Day Films workshop-project, which gives African filmmakers the opportunity to learn from mentors and create their stories for an international audience. The project was founded by Tom Tykwer and Marie Steinmann. Other movies resulting from this workshop include Kati Kati, Nairobi Half Life, Something Necessary and Soul Boy.
The movie had its world premiere at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival in the category "Generations".
