Nafkot: Wartime Family Narratives in Tigray and Eritrea

Nafkot: Wartime Family Narratives in Tigray and Eritrea traces the meaning of a culture revolving around strength displayed through the language and imagery of war and a history of conflict. Centered on the creator’s family, the film uses archives ranging from songs and cultural sayings to music videos, news media, and messages between family members to ground personal experiences in the broader cultural context of “Adi Jeganu”—the homeland of the brave people.
