Description
Set against the 1972 massacre in the Mozambican village of Wiriyamu, Williams Sassine weaves a narrative of trauma, resistance, and existential reckoning, confronting the brutal legacy of colonial violence in Africa.
At its heart is Kabalango, a disillusioned poet who views death as the final act of freedom, and Condelo, an albino man haunted by racial stigma and the memory of his mother.
Wirriyamu is a profound meditation on freedom, identity, and the power of choosing one's own story.
