Everyone's Child

Everyone's Child is a 1995 film directed by the author Tsitsi Dangarembga. Directing this film made Dangarembga the first black Zimbabwean woman to direct a feature film. The film was criticised for unusual accents and for unsubtle story telling.[1]

Plot

Focusing on the growing problem of children living in hardship - especially as a result of AIDS - the film follows the abrupt journey of two children into a world of adult responsibility. Itayi and Tamari are devastated following the death of both parents, shunned by family and friends, and left with nothing. Frustrated and in despair, Itayi tries his luck in the big city, leaving Tamari at home to look after herself and her younger brothers and sisters.

gollark: It simultaneously does some really intelligent and really stupid things. Like how biochemistry is incredibly well-optimized for, well, biochemistry things and does things non-biochemists would probably really like to do, but also we have the appendix and eyes are the wrong way round.
gollark: Don't anthropomorphize it, it's a blind optimization process.
gollark: Evolution DOES NOT go around selecting for "the good of the species" or something.
gollark: In one study, there were flies put in some conditions where they couldn't have many children, and instead of evolving to have fewer, they just cannibalized each other's young.
