THE TREE OF OUR FOREFATHERS (1994) [Feature]

UK (MIFF1995,Environmental Programme)
Director: Licinio Azevedo

One extended family group made refugees by the war in Mozambique, make a gruelling three week journey to their traditional lands. Set to a soundtrack of authentic African rhythms, this is a beautiful story sometimes tragic sometimes comic but always in the words of the protago­nists. TVE, a unique production company, have dispensed with the outdated patronising voiceover and given voice to the people of the Third World.
