Vera Ngassa and Beatrice Ntuba in Sisters in Law.
Sisters in Law (2005)
Kim Longinotto, Florence Ayisi (Cameroon/U.K.)
Grim but inspirational, the film follows the daily routines of two women in Kumba, Cameroon, state prosecutor Vera Ngassa and court president Beatrice Ntuba, who deal out tough justice, humour and compassion as they overturn socially sanctioned abuse and help women and children fight back through the courts.
