Disobedience
Desobediência
In this Mozambican documentary re-enacted by the real people at its heart, Rosa, a peasant woman from the Chimoio region, is blamed by her late husband’s family for his death after she refused to obey him, and submits to both a traditional healer’s ordeal and a court of law to clear her name and keep her children. A haunting fusion of documentary and drama.
