Film 51! It's another African film, a poetic personal essay film I think, called MILISUTHANDO. I don't like the running time though, I think 120-140 is the worst length for a film but we'll see. Well I will.

It took over two years, but it looks like Milisuthando -- the best damn documentary of 2023! -- finally has distribution and is opening theatrically in the US this week. Canada next, please. 🙌 www.instagram.com/p/DJpsCmKtY5...

Como ella misma indica, “los negros no estudian cine”. Su ópera prima, que lleva su propio nombre, Milisuthando, es un documental que funciona a modo de ensayo y que aporta una nueva perspectiva sobre el apartheid.
