BlackWoman is abandoned in the middle of the desert, in a cage, in the middle of nowhere. But she’s not ready to leave this world yet. She escapes and walks against the odds and persecution, from desert to mountain to city, in the hope of finding solace. The new film by Rolf de Heer, Australian director of the unforgettable film Charlie’s Country, presented and prize winner at the FIFDH, is an allegory of racism in the surprising and engaging form of a cinematic tale. The Survival of Kindness thus becomes a dystopian journey that confronts us with the burden endured by ethnic minorities in a world dominated by the white man. Somewhere between poetry and despair, with no need for words, this is also a film that celebrates the will to resist.
