Women in Film Challenge 2020: [29/52] Krotoa, dir. Roberta Durrant (South Africa, 2017)
My name is Krotoa, not Eva. I am a princess of the Goringhaikona tribe. Daughter of Ais, the daughter of Aaye. If I have any regret, it's that I realized too late that I helped you rape my country. You came here with your horses and your guns, and we still welcomed you. You bought us off with cheap trinkets and worthless promises. I believed that we could live in peace, that you would respect my people and my culture. You call us savages? You are the savages! You have stolen my country, but you will never steal my heritage.
