Incredible premiere for Dignity at the RAFF! Amazing how the planned Deluxe theater with its 124 seats proved quite insufficient for the audience, and that even after the opening of the second one, with its 70 seats many people could not get in anyway (sorry!)… I never expected this success for the first screening, thanks everyone!
Up to now two editorials have mentioned Dignity, one on NeapolisRoma.it, and the other on Africa e Affari.
“Among the surprises of the festival two rare diamonds; the short film Twaaga directed by Cédric Ido, and the documentary Dignity of Italian director Monica Mazzitelli. […]
With a traveler-entomologist eye Monica Mazzitelli makes the most of her experience in Mozambique. She narrates the story of twenty girls that are housed in an orphanage who have found themselves, and the taste of freedom. Life paths shot with sensitivity and consciousness, entering with humility in a world marked by violence but also by the joy of life to speak of human rights.”

“An equally unexpected success for Dignity, the documentary about a group of girls in an orphanage in Mozambique, which in the afternoon section has filled both theaters of the Casa del Cinema, forcing the organizers to leave out a part of the public.”
