An immersive initiation into the life of a Maroon community in the former Dutch colony of Suriname. Combining stories of African ancestral traditions and escaped slavery with enacted contemporary rituals, the film explores how the community’s powerful ties to the land have become endangered as industries threaten to devastate the region through deforestation and mining.
Reviews
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Good movie but grossly overrated
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
