Sisters in law aesthetics

The visual style of sisters in laws enforces the fact of Cameroon being an under developed country through the mise en scene I the documentary. An example of this being the lawyers office having huge stacks of paper on her desk as well as her office in general looking cheap with the cleaners using branches to sweep dirt. This shows Cameroons poverty as the lawyer in the film is supposed to be a higher up in society yet cant afford cabinets for files and has an over all run down office. This overall gives the documentary a sympathetic tone showing Cameroon as venerable and unpleasant to live in strengthening the the themes of equality in the documentary.
