    Synopsis

    The title of this film translates to the Shona word “Gukurahundi,” a cynical euphemism which refers to a series of massacres, executed in wake of Zimbabwe’s liberation. The work unfolds as a mosaic, evoking ghosts in the shape of nationhood and ancestry. [73 Berlinale – Forum Expanded]
