Deus Twesigye from Uganda was leaving for work one morning in 2010 when his ex-girlfriend threw acid on him. A Burning Voice combines Deus’ dance and movement, narration and poetry with subtle images of everyday life in Uganda, creating a multilayered film exploring different sides of surviving violence and trauma.
