Artist-turned-filmmaker Milisuthando Bongela offers up a personal and visually striking self-portrait of a life that grapples with the legacy of South Africa’s past. 　　In her poetic debut feature documentary, Bongela takes us on a sensory journey, opening up a memory chest that explores the far-reaching consequences of Apartheid. Narrated in chapters by the filmmaker, she moves beyond the grand symbolic gestures of a ‘rainbow nation’ to convey what it actually means to be born Black in South Africa, and to explore the thorny blanket of freedom that was laid at the feet of its citizens. Powered by Bongela’s memories of a youth spent in the all-Black Xhosa homeland of Transkei, this skilfully edited film charts South Africa’s recent past, less as a history lesson, and more as poetic reflection on a nation borne out of a violent system. 　　源自：https://www.sheffdocfest.com/film/milisuthando
