A miracle of a film, made by the visionary African director Med Hondo. Set entirely on a huge slave ship that was constructed as the stage for centuries worth of Western colonial calamities to play out on. One of the truly inventive uses of space and the politics of space in the history of cinema. (Locarno Festival)
