Description
Summary:As a memorial tribute to Sarah Maldoror, this compilation amasses a composite picture of heras mother, companion, filmmaker, citizen, activist, mentor, friend, comrade-in-thestruggle. She was inducted as a Knight of the National Order of Merit by the French government in 2011. Sarah Maldoror ou la nostalgie de l'utopie ( 1999, Togo), a biographical film by Anne-Laure Folly Reimann, pays tribute to her and her work. Annouchka de Andrade and Henda Ducados share the interconnecting dynamics as daughters-in-thestruggle, with their mother and father, all of which reveal Sarah Maldoror, the multidimensional woman and the multiplicity of her intersectional experiences.
