Read MoreCollapse

A young woman looking for a better life faces both danger and disappointment in this independent drama from South Africa, shot with a bare-bones crew to give the material a more immediate look and feel. Zimbabwe (Kudzai Chimbaira) is a nineteen-year-old girl who is left alone in the world when her mother succumbs to AIDS. With no place else to turn, she travels to the border town of Beibridge and asks her aunt to take her in. However, the woman is unsympathetic to her niece's plight, and so Zimbabwe crosses illegally into South Africa in search of work. Zimbabwe soon lands a job as a domestic, but soon learns that she's powerless to protect herself against those who would take advantage of her naiveté and precarious legal status. Zimbabwe was screened in competition at the 2008 Rotterdam Film Festival.
