Ingrid Sinclair, ZIMBABWE, 1996 (90 minutes)
Flame is the dramatic saga of two friends who grow into young womanhood in a
village in rural Rhodesia. Florence dreams of college while her pal primps
and hopes for a happy marriage. When the war for independence comes, the
newly named Liberty and Flame fight alongside other "daughters of Zimbabwe
...strong like lions." After the revolution, one-time warrior Flame finds
herself back in the country, married to a drunk and demoted to women's work.
In a painful reunion, she and Liberty, now a successful city girl, share the
straight scoop on postwar realities and these brave, beautiful African women
move back into the enduring shelter of their friendship. A strong take on
modern womanhood that never loses sight of the complexities of
liberation - political and personal.
