Primal Screen Program Image

“It is an elegant reverie about the violence and the stoicism beneath the surface of ordinary life.” – The Guardian

Flick Ford is joined by legendary Australian filmmaker director, writer and producer Rolf de Heer, lead actor Mwajemi Hussein, and composer Anna Liebzeit to talk about their film The Survival of Kindness which is currently sscreening across Australia.

In this special long-form interview, Rolf, Mwajemi and Anna explain how the story of a strong Black woman surviving against the odds challenges narratives of victimhood.
