Description
This documentary showing a day in the life of immigrant women chipping rocks into gravel outside Dar-es-Salaam, is both a protest against the oppression of African Women and a tribute to their resilience. In this film, the camera acts as a compassionate witness to a day in the life of Mozambican women refugees. We slowly come to recognize that these women are, in fact, parts of a giant machine, not just the quarry but the international economic system as a whole. The rocks, the women, the scarred landscape, are being constantly ground into the common currency of industrial civilization.
