“An incredible life story, one that needs to be shared. Such an important topic has never been addressed with such depth and courage.”
With these words, the director Francesco Bizzarri presented the Visioni dal Mondo Award at the Industry section of Millennium Docs Against Gravity Film Festival to No Mother’s Land, directed by Wiktoria Szymanska-Davis and produced by Monika Braid (Braidmade Films), Wiktoria Szymanska-Davis, Sonja Henrici.
A powerful, urgent and deeply moving project, No Mother’s Land follows years of love, fear, resilience and resistance, telling the story of a mother and daughter fighting against a legal system that too often fails the very people it should protect.
“It enthrals and engages you like a thriller, it makes you feel part of a battle for the rights of the vulnerable. But above all, it is a great story of love between a mother and a daughter.”
The award consists of invitation to participate in the pitching contest of Visioni Incontra, the industry section of the 12th International Documentary Festival Visioni dal Mondo, which will take place in Milan on September 16–17.
“This is true cinéma du réel, and we will be happy to support it.” We wait for you in Milano!
