Ruanda, Südafrika 2021 – Director: Claudine Ndimbira – Original with English subtitles, Q&A with Claudine Ndimbira (dir.)
Refugee Akili Nadege has experienced terrible things: loss, imprisonment, torture. Women and men lend their voices to tell Akili’s story. The more the narrators take in, the more affected they are – and Akili regains her agency and her dignity. An impressive short film that demands and enacts compassion. Barbara Off
We present the world premiere of the film.
