About
After being arrested in the Dominican Republic, a French woman of African descent escapes custody and is sheltered by three minors in a dangerous district of Santo Domingo. Living undocumented and in the shadows, she finds herself growing into a maternal figure to the kids. Impeccably lensed and gorgeously illuminated, with imagery that highlights themes of movement, departures and displacement, Bantú Mama attempts a meditative intervention. One that traces the connections and links between Africa and her diverse diaspora.
A very personal and cinematographically gorgeous film, that fits perfectly within the narrative of newfound homes.
– Céline Galletti for Abundant Art
