On August 5, 2016, the film "Africa! Sia Lives on Kilimanjaro" (Hebrew סיאה הילדה מאפריקה) was published. In the film the director Shargal drove again to the Astrid Lindgren archive in Stockholm. She talked to Astrid Lindgren's daughter Karin Nyman to learn more about Anna Riwkin-Brick and her books. However, Karin Nyman could not tell Shargal much anbout her. At a screening of "Where Is Elle Kari and What Happened to Noriko-san?" a member of the audience said that she had the name and email address from "Sia" from "Sia lives on Kilimanjaro". The e-mail address turned out to be wrong, but Shargal managed to find Sia, who is actually called Erica Malekia, anyhow.
