Sister’s in Law first response

 

overall I will give sister’s in law a 5/10. The documentary offered a great insight into the horrific crimes being committed in Kumba. The verisimilitude is excellent as we are watching from the prospective of someone in the courtroom as if we are in the audience. The film also has no mediation which adds to the realism of the final product.

a key moment is the exploration of Manka’s court case as the directors showcase the various reactions of multiple witnesses and relative of Manta.

A weakness of the documentary is that it often feels disjointed and scene transitions happen randomly. I believe this is at the fault of the editing and post production which gives the documentary a cheap look. This vastly decreases the enjoyability of the film. I believe the film could be improved with the use of narration in order to better transition to different scenes.
