Marimari
Evelyn Kunda is a teacher, mother, a human rights defender, and the only woman from her village who doesn’t believe that she is surrounded by witches.
MARIMARI takes audiences on a cinematic journey into the villages, towns, and urban slums of Highlands Papua New Guinea, where Evelyn fights to rescue and rehabilitate the survivors of sorcery violence.
In the face of an almost total belief in sorcery, this vérité style film intimately observes Evelyn over four years as she assists families struggling to put their lives back together following violent attacks.
An urgent and powerful call to action, driven by a woman with an indigenous solution to violence in her own community.
