Dis ek, Anna
Directed by Sara BlecherIn the middle of the night, someone rings the doorbell of successful Bloemfontein, South Africa businessman Danie du Toit. Outside, the rain is pouring down. Danie puts on his gown, walks to the front door, and switches on the light. A slender rain-soaked figure stands with her back turned to him. When she turns around, he recognizes the face that stares at him from underneath the hood. It's his stepdaughter, whom he hasn't seen in years. "It's me, Anna" she says calmly. The hate seeps through her words, just like the rain that pours over them. Then she lifts the gun--The movie "Dis Ek, Anna" is about Anna Bruwer's sexual abuse by her stepfather over an 8-year period. She called herself Silent Anna because she couldn't tell anyone what had happened between them--not her mother, not her best friend, not even her own father. The viewer becomes intimately involved in the child's twilight world of shame, threats and silence.
