A stunning mix of archives from apartheid-era South Africa, along with contemporary contemplations, sets the stage for this deeply personal and poetic exploration of race and place.
ABOUT THE FILM
MILISUTHANDO
Milisuthando Bongela / 2023 / 2h08m / English
Set in past and present South Africa, “Milisuthando” is a poetic coming-of-age personal essay documentary on love and what it means to become human in the context of race, explored through the memories of Milisuthando – who grew up during apartheid but didn’t know it was happening until it was over.
