"A seemingly simple story that quietly reveals its complex layers, 'Black Mambas' touches upon a multitude of themes, acknowledging but also defying stereotypes. In an ideologically charged landscape we get to experience the struggles and empowerment of young women against the persisting power structures, within the frame of race, family dynamics and the tight grip of colonialism that refuses to let go. With brilliant cinematography and an intimate eye for nuance we get to experience what sacrifices it takes for a woman to feed a family- we partake in the dream of becoming a decolonized body. The F:ACT Award goes to 'Black Mambas' by Lena Karbe."
