Harvest: 3,000 Years

(Haile Gerima, Ethiopia 1976, 150 min., 16mm)

Child of Resistance: The Cinema of Haile Gerima. Haile Gerima’s first feature work set in Africa employs visions of his native Ethiopia to construct a post-colonial allegory of class exploitation. Depicting a peasant family toiling under a wealthy feudal landlord, the film blends numerous narrative techniques to create an impassioned work of haunting beauty.
