A conversation with Micha Espinosa and Sara Matchett on Lamentation at the Liesbeek, a film that traces how colonial histories linger in landscape, memory, and everyday life along Cape Town’s riverbanks. We explore how the film turns terrain into testimony, where sound, image, and absence reveal a past that refuses to stay buried.
