In this month's LinkUp Magazine ReelUp section, we explore Dolovia, a new film by director Behailu Engida (Baya) starring Girum Ermias.

Set in a gold mining area where two men's paths cross in pursuit of very different goals, Dolovia delivers a masterclass in visual storytelling, immersive sound design, and raw character progression.
