A Memory in Three Acts


Director - Inadelso Cossa, 64 Minutes - Germany 2016
 
Mozambique’s colonial history left a big wound in the country’s collective memory. The film is a poetic search on post-colonial trauma and collective memory loss where voiceless people who had resisted in the underground tell their stories. Indeed, former political prisoners decide to go back to the places where they were tortured to meet their ghosts, rebuild their memories of torture and find a possible reconciliation as a treatment for their trauma.
