“MILISUTHANDO reflects the best of the form, harnessing its freedom and potential.”
—The Hollywood Reporter
“Bongela’s debut feature probes her experience as a millennial Black woman who only began reckoning with apartheid as her country was stumbling out of it.”
—Variety
A stunning, poetic essay film that invites the audience on a journey to the aftermath of South African apartheid and acutely reveals the enduring spectre of racism. Director, writer, and artist Milisuthando Bongela recalls early memories of life inside the segregated Transkei region and the hopes and dreams of a country eager to put apartheid behind them.
