Mama Colonel preceded by Zero Tolerance
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Dieudo Hamadi
2010 / 90min / DCP
The title of Hamadi’s film comes from the nickname of its subject, Honorine Manyole, a colonel in the Congolese police force heading a unit specializing in the protection of minors and the prevention and prosecution of sexual violence, seen as she adjusts to being transferred from Bukavu, where she has worked for 15 years, to Kisangani. An obviously admiring character study that’s as no-nonsense as its subject, and a deeply humane film on the physical and mental fallout of abuse. Screens with Zero Tolerance, a short documentary film focused on the work of Bukavu's Sexual Violence Unit, and the legacy of rape as a weapon of war.
