![]() Part of Bristol’s Refugee Week Tenacity and courage are needed to bring up a family in Zimbabwe today. Amai Rose is a new documentary following a cross-border trader struggling to support her family in Harare. Director Ingrid Sinclair of Zimmedia will introduce this free screening as part of Zimbabwe Day at the Pierian Centre on Friday 19th June. Amai Rose is a Zimbabwean woman in her late 40’s. Her struggle is not one of grim resistance, but is characterized by a sharp sense of humour, an easy laugh and generous communication skills. Her imaginative tactical planning, clear analysis of strengths and her ability to set appropriate goals would make her a great CEO – but in fact she is a housemaid and cross-border trader, a domestic worker with a difference. At an age when many African women are looking forward to retirement, Amai Rose has just found herself a new job. |
