Nora is a 2008 documentary film.

Synopsis

Nora is based on the life of dancer Nora Chipaumire, who was born in Zimbabwe in 1965. In the film, Nora returns to the landscape of her childhood and travels through the vivid memories of her youth. Using performance and dance, she brings her story to life in a swift poem of sounds and images. Shot entirely on location in South Africa, Nora portrays a multitude of local performers and dancers of all ages, from schoolchildren to grandmothers. Much of the film's music was specially composed by the legend of Zimbabwean music, Thomas Mapfumo.

gollark: I mean, depends what you mean by "illusion".
gollark: I'd say simulations are real-ish, the other ones not so much.
gollark: I'm not sure it's actually much of a meaningful question, since you can't tell the difference either way.
gollark: A hypothetical lifeform in CGoL can't see if it's running on a laptop in our universe or some weird simulator in lambda calculus running on a distributed computing cluster of extrauniversal bees.
