Open Secret: The Third Edition continues as a series composed of screenings, conversations, and workshops with our second program this autumn season curated by guest curator, Nataleah Hunter-Young, and featuring filmmaker, Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese, who will be joining us for a Q&A moderated by Milka Njoroge.

With THIS IS NOT A BURIAL, IT’S A RESURRECTION, we learn of the profound connections between land, life, and the familial, taking us on a journey where the relational is made collective and the spiritual is bound by and for the love and protection of one’s land.

THIS IS NOT A BURIAL, IT’S A RESURRECTION

Amongst the pythonic mountains of land-locked Lesotho, an 80 year-old widow winds up her earthly affairs, makes arrangements for her burial and prepares to die. But when her village is threatened with forced resettlement due to the construction of a reservoir, she finds a new will to live and ignites a collective spirit of defiance within her community.
