CGiii Comment

A film made in a small town in cameroon, following the work of a Judge and a State Prosector who are fighting tradition '.... Longinotto comes to FNC with Sisters in Law, a quiet, understated doc that delves into local courtroom drama in a small town in Cameroon, West Africa, by following the state prosecutor and judge - both women - as they fight sexist attitudes and societal norms with a keen knowledge of the law, an acute desire for justice and their own firm brand of compassion. Longinotto has a knack for finding the universal in the particular, slowly unravelling the inner workings of situations rarely explored on film. Shot over four months, the film delicately weaves together courtroom and small-town life, showing how brave personal battles are also profoundly political: A six-year old girl flees her abusive aunt, a woman decides to end her cruel marriage and take her husband to court, and a young girl accuses her neighbour of rape. Without fanfare, one simple camera puts you at the heart of these very intimate dramas that enthral, disturb and delight.'
