This Is Not A Burial, This Is A Resurrection - 2019 - 7/10
After her son dies, Mantoa realizes how completely alone she is, having buried daughter, grandchildren and husband.
Her depression leaves her all but listless.
Until a village council alerts her and her neighbors that their community is to be dispersed.
The Ministry has approved a dam for a reservoir.
“What about the graves? What about our ancestors?”
Quiet film about resisting the all-powerful, faceless, Authority.
Slow at times, yet the visuals are arresting.
