SISTERS IN LAW CAMEROON 2006
Winner of the Prix Art et Essai at the Cannes Film Festival and screened to acclaim at more than
120 festivals around the world, SISTERS IN LAW is the latest documentary from internationally
renowned director Kim Longinotto, co-directed by Florence Ayisi.
In the little town of Kumba, Cameroon, there have been no convictions in spousal abuse cases for
17 years. But two women determined to change their community are making progress that could
change the world. This fascinating, often hilarious doc follows the work of State Prosecutor Vera
Ngassa and Court President Beatrice Ntuba as they help women fight often-difficult cases of abuse,
despite pressures from family and their community to remain silent. Six-year-old Manka is covered
in scars and has run away from an abusive aunt, Amina is seeking a divorce to put an end to brutal
beatings by her husband, the pre-teen Sonita has daringly accused her neighbor of rape.
With fierce compassion, the two feisty and progressive-minded women dispense wisdom, wisecracks
and justice in fair measure, handing down stiff sentences to those convicted. A cross between
“Judge Judy” and “The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,” SISTERS IN LAW has audiences
cheering when justice is served.
