Mda, Zakes, (writer of accompanying material.). Mhlongo, Mary Twala, (actor.). Mofokeng, Jerry, (actor.). Mosese, Lemohang Jeremiah, 1980- (film director.). Ndebele, Makhaola, (actor.). Criterion Collection (Firm), (publisher.). Mary Twala Mhlongo, Jerry Mofokeng, Makhaola Ndebele. (Cast).

Summary:

With a poet's eye for place, light, and the spiritual dimensions of everyday existence, Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese crafts a meditation on the concept of homeland and a transcendent elegy for what is lost in the name of progress. Grieving and alone following the deaths of her husband and children, elderly Mantoa (Mary Twala Mhlongo, in a soul-shaking end-of-life performance) prepares for her death and to be buried alongside her ancestors. When plans for a new dam near her village in the landlocked kingdom of Lesotho threaten to wash away all she holds dear, Mantoa takes a last stand, mobilizing her neighbors to fight for their land and their way of life. The experience of watching Mosese's visionary, much-lauded This Is Not a Burial, It's a Resurrection is as timeless and elemental as the land itself.
