ABOUT THE FILM:
Director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun / Chad / 2021 / 1hr 27min / French with English subtitles / Drama
On the outskirts of the capital of Chad, determined single mother Amina (Achouackh Abakar Souleymane) works tirelessly to provide for herself and her 15-year-old daughter Maria (Rihane Khalil Alio).
When Amina discovers Maria is pregnant and does not want a child, the two women begin to seek out an abortion, condemned by both religion and law. Fighting to procure this simple yet inaccessible procedure, they must navigate a patriarchal network of doctors, relatives, and neighbors. In the process, mother and daughter forge a connection stronger than any they've ever known.
The latest film from celebrated director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, Lingui, The Sacred Bonds is an honest, poignant and stunning vision of female solidarity.
