Karsih (2021)

Duration: 16:39    Category: International, Personal, Short   Opportunity: Stories

Karsih finds herself at the end of her life having to work as a street cleaner in order to support her extended family. To add insult to injury, her cleaning job is across the street from where she and her neighbours were dispossessed of their homes and land. But humour and love never leave her.
