Casey's Winter Documentary Film Picks (1)

Honeyland:

Directed by Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov. 2019.

“A documentary about bee-keeper Hatidze Muratova, living in a mountainous area of Macedonia with her mother Nazife. She carefully stewards her hives, but the delicate balance of her lifestyle is threatened by her new neighbors, the Sams, and father Hussein’s quest to make a bit more money from bees. Stunningly beautiful and quietly powerful, this is a portrait of a vanishing way of life and of a determined woman who’s just trying to make her way in the world.”
