The Night of Truth
09.09.2005
The Night of Truth, a film set in an unnamed African country, dramatises the process of truth and reconciliation, echoing the recent histories of South Africa, Sierra Leone and Rwanda, and highlights not only the female perspective but also the subtleties and complexities of learning to live together again in trust and respect. The Night of Truth received its UK premiere at the Cambridge Film Festival in July, with director Fanta Régina Nacro attending, and screens in the Black World Mama Africa season at the UK National Film Theatre, from 1 - 26 September.
