Kim Longinotto, winner of the first Maysles Brothers Award in 2006, returns to Belfast with her latest film, a tour-de-force and emotionally charged epic, telling the story of five women in Durban, South Africa, and Bobbi Bear, an organisation supporting abused children.
This multi-racial group of women not only provide counselling for their young victims but also a stridently supportive family for each other. A striking and poignant celebration of determination, female empowerment and unity of purpose portrayed with exemplary skill by someone many critics are now calling ‘Britain’s best filmmaker.’
World Cinema Documentary Jury Prize, Sundance 09
“Once again Longinotto has managed to bring us an intimate portrait of change from Africa, this time from the new post-apartheid South Africa, a nation being transformed with hope and energy into a new democracy.” – Women Make Movies
