From Zimbabwe to Santa Fe
Rural Zimbabweans - Gogo, the sage, Sindiso, the working mom, and Matron, the youth, set their sites on selling their baskets at the worldÂ’s largest folk art market held one weekend a year in Santa Fe, NM.
As they reach for prosperity, these uniquely appealing heroines stretch beyond their comfort zones, bridging the cultural-economic divide with persistence and humor highlighting our shared humanity. Using unprecedented access to two rural villages, From Zimbabwe to Santa Fe, a cinema-verite documentary told from the heroinesÂ’ point-of-view, challenges and inspires us to shed our stereotypes regarding rural African functionality and redefine our notions of sustainability and wealth.
