Скачать или смотреть The Language of Umunne

They called the village Umunne — “the people who are kin.” When the yams fail and the river’s song thins, a small orphan named Adaora learns to listen to the mmuo, the unseen spirits who keep the balance between the living and the dead. Told in gentle, haunting images, The River Remembers follows Adaora as she teaches her village to remember what they have forgotten: how to tend a shrine, how to apologize with kola, and how language becomes a bridge between generations.
Part folktale, part quiet parable, this short film traces one child’s patient courage as she translates the world of water and trees into words the village can act on. When people refuse to hear, the river grows hungry — and only by making amends together do they begin to heal. A meditation on memory, responsibility, and the small rites that bind a community, The River Remembers asks: who will listen when the living forget?
