Resumen de "Land Rush", pratique documentaire et regard sur la complexité du réel
The study shows how the film is an example of the multiple points of view, particularly sensitive to people’s living conditions. This is the result of a dual gaze of the filmmakers and also of the specific positioning of Osvalde Lewat, a Cameroonian who navigates between various countries and lives in the space of the diaspora. From her ‘situated gaze’, she offers a particular perspective on the fragility of villagers confronting environmental issues, international market and economic rules. Far removed from stereotypes, she shows how rural communities are faced with choices that can change their lives. At the same time, she attests to the fact that no matter the condition, one can resist and define one’s own destiny. It is a contemporary practice of documentary that Osvalde Lewat uses her experiences as a journalist and then as a filmmaker, to fight against injustices of all kinds.
