Aguaespejo

2Apr13

An cri de coeur against colonization by a documentarian who suffered a crisis of conscience in Africa, a crisis that is mirrored in the structure of film that starts in the all-too-familiar rural spaces of Africa that despite their poverty seem like pastoral utopias & moves into the all-too-unfamiliar zones of the colonial economy. A wake up call for one generation: a reminder of all that is to be done for another.
