Story behind the work
Shot across four seasons along the shores of Lake Victoria, Mwangi's first feature follows three generations of women fishers as the lake itself becomes a witness — to colonial industry, to climate, to the slow return of a sacred fish.
An 84-minute observational feature, shot in 4K with original score, selected for FAACCE's inaugural Documentary Collection.
