The derogatory title of his searing documentary film, \u201cA Little Black Man from Congo\u201d isn\u2019t what South African filmmaker
Tshililo waha Muzila<\/a> came up with by himself.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s what he discovered that \u201cthey\u201d are called in Spain: The irregular migrants, asylum seekers, refugees and undocumented migrants, precariously \u2013 and often fatally \u2013 trying to reach Europe in anything afloat, desperate in search of a better life. In Spanish, the term is \u201cNegrito Del Congo.\u201d<\/p>\n
His evocative in competition documentary feature with the offensive title, produced by Masanani Productions, populates the lineup of this week\u2019s 8th Joburg Film Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, and opens with the words \u201cA pilgrimage the world refuses to see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Muzila, living in Johannesburg now but who lived in Spain for a while, returns to that country for his documentary, where he walks the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage with an orange life jacket around his neck.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
