Developing Stories Series II
53 minutes
Grades 10-Adult
1994
Produced by Ebano Multimedia Lda for BBC/TVE/One World Group
of Broadcasters/ A film by Licinio Azevedo
During the 15 year civil war in Mozambique, one and a half
million people fled to seek refuge in neighboring countries.
There was no time for ceremonial leave-taking, no time to pay
the proper respects to the dead. But in 1993, with the war
finally over, the refugees began to return home.
Licinio Azevedo's moving documentary is the story of one
family's long journey back to seek the forefathers' atonement
under the village
tree.
The film follows Alexandre Ferrao and his extended family as
they toil home across a land emptied of people and littered
with the twisted scrapmetal of warfare. At night, around the
camp fire, the family recount their experiences of the years
in exile, and their fears for what they might find when they
finally reach home.
