Mãe Fátima
2009 · 80 min
A patient, quietly harrowing immersion in a broken hospital where hardship and mysticism sit side by side, rewarding viewers who can sit with discomfort.
- Overview
- This documentary follows a 70 years old, Angolan nurse on a nearly impossible humanitarian mission into her home country. In a southern region that was specially affected by the long lasting, recent civil war, the local hospital has to be restructured. At this place where accidental death, poverty and lack of hygiene continue to be a part of people's daily life, the subversive presence of mystical forces seem to reinvent the meaning of life.
