This Is Not A Burial, It's A Resurrection
A poetic contemplation on death, tradition, and the sacrifices made in the name of progress. Stricken with grief and solitude after losing her husband and children, the elderly Mantoa (Mary Twala Mhlongo) readies herself for death, seeking burial alongside her ancestors. However, the construction plans for a new dam near her village in Lesotho threaten to erase all she holds dear. Mosese’s stunning vision resonates as a silent call for future generations to pay attention before it’s too late. The film was chosen as Lesotho’s submission for the 93rd Academy Awards in 2020, the country’s inaugural entry in the Best Foreign Language Film category
