A fourth $10,000 grant was awarded to the Mozambican filmmaker Inadelso Cossa for his project The Guilt Bearer

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In a remote village nestled in the heart of Mozambique, a former RENAMO rebel who previously committed acts of killing and rape in his country’s civil war, now returns home, hoping to find redemption. However, the villagers are not happy with his return and plot to kill him in a collective purge. A village elder spares his life, imposing a ritual punishment and marking his forehead with a symbolic sign that identifies him as “the Guilt Bearer”.
