SISTERS IN LAW (2005)

10th Anniversary screening. In the enthralling, and often surprisingly funny, Cannes award-winning Sisters in Law, two fierce and feisty women challenge tradition to make a difference in Cameroon law. Prosecutor Vera Ngassa and judge Beatrice Ntuba give long-silenced women their day in court, empowering them to cast off the roles of victims and demand justice. This screening coincides with Kim Longinotto receiving the Robert and Anne Drew Award for Documentary Excellence at DOC NYC’s Visionaries Tribute and screening her new film, Dreamcatcher.
