“Resistance” may be the word that comes to mind after watching the 10 winners videos of the Contest of Short-films “African Descent Communities: Acknowledgment, Justice and Development”. Resistance in many senses, including the refusal of submission to the desire of others; the struggle that remains as an action of self-defense; the reaction to an oppressive force; the qualities of those who show firm attitudes and persistence; the force that repeals the effects of a destructive action. Or, as says the storyteller of one of the awarded videos: “To resist is to work day after day for the confirmation of our identity”.
