I know how to tell this story,” Davidtz told her. “I know it in my bones.” This statement highlights Davidtz's deep emotional connection and commitment to adapting Fuller's memoir.
Bobo reminds me of arriving at South Africa, being in a poor family with an alcoholic parent… I was seeing how casual the racism was. You know, the benches said, 'Whites only.' It was still that time.
Elegant, stylistically assured, and visually articulate, the film unfolds entirely from the perspective of Bobo, who runs around with animals at the shabby farm, dirty and barefoot.
While Davidtz herself hasn’t lived in Zimbabwe, she has roots in neighboring South Africa, along with memories of witnessing violence and racism like the film's seven-year-old protagonist.
