Everyone's Child
Appearance
Everyone's Child is a 1995 film directed by the author Tsitsi Dangarembga. Directing this film made Dangarembga the first black Zimbabwean woman to direct a feature film. The film was criticised for unusual accents and for unsubtle story telling.[1]
Plot
Focusing on the growing problem of children living in hardship - especially as a result of AIDS - the film follows the abrupt journey of two children into a world of adult responsibility. Itayi and Tamari are devastated following the death of both parents, shunned by family and friends, and left with nothing. Frustrated and in despair, Itayi tries his luck in the big city, leaving Tamari at home to look after herself and her younger brothers and sisters.
