Wekufe (2016)
Could this be the pioneering masterpiece in political found footage cinema?
A captivating exploration of belief formation intricacies and the pervasive influence of convictions across cultural landscapes-threaded through the realms of religion, music, and art.
With crafty finesse, it weaves a narrative around the covert weaponization and appropriation of myths and legends by colonialist and imperialist governments. This leaves these ruling entities eternally powerless in the face of their true architects-the communities molding the societal fabric.
Far from the typical horror fare, it intelligently embraces the slow burn structure inherent in found footage films, subverting expectations in the process. This compelling revelation serves as a potent reminder to the genre: meticulously crafted scripts indeed wield transformative power.
