Prize of the Ecumenical Jury (International Competition of Feature Films for Children), Zlín 2016

“Abulele” is a film that deals with strong and relevant themes such as grief and prejudice in a manner, which is refreshingly open to a young audience. With a good balance of humor and drama “Abulele” impresses with its nuanced depiction of characters. The audience is continually confronted with the prejudices we may form of certain characters and learn that people (and creatures) are always more than they seem at first glance.
