Sinekatalog’s take

Haile Gerima's drama follows a day on an Ethiopian farm where a peasant family labours for a landlord, exposing the feudal system's injustice. Black-and-white and slow, it is a powerful, angry and poetic landmark of African cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
