Follow on Google News | Film Screening: "Umunthu: An African Response to Homosexuality in Malawi"Umunthu : An African Response to Homosexuality in Malawi is a first person documentary. The film unpacks the controversy surrounding homosexuality in Malawi and investigates the interplay of tolerance, politics and culture through the lens of "Umunthu" - a Pan-African philosophical concept of humanity, often defined in the phrase "I am because we are". The documentary frames a discussion that is not based on an imposition from outside, and is not also fueled by resistance to foreign forces. Rather, it uses local concepts and values to discuss the matter in an informed and sober manner. This opens space to begin shaping a genuinely African response to the topic of homosexuality in Malawi. The film is 30-minutes long and will be followed by discussion with the filmmaker. End
