In Fambul Tok (2011), victims and perpetrators of Sierra Leone’s brutal civil war come together for the first time in an unprecedented program of tradition-based truth-telling and forgiveness ceremonies. Through the ancient practice of fambul tok (family talk), Sierra Leoneans work toward a sustainable peace at the grassroots level in a film that explores how true justice lies in redemption, healing, and forgiveness.
Discussion led by Catherine Bolten, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Peace Studies, Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.
