Engaged Cinema: Furcy: The Slave Who Pursued His Master

Some films are not just for entertainment; they leave us with questions, confusions, and reflections on the enduring legacy of slave societies. These films pull us away from the endless stream of formatted images. This is one of the strengths of engaged cinema. We should commend the initiative of the French Institute of Mauritius, the Intercontinental Museum of Slavery, and the Nelson Mandela Centre for African Culture for making this accessible.
