Tomato Meter
KT🍅5/5
"Rafael's ability to weave dream-like visuals with layered commentary makes Filipiñana a heartbreaking and reaffirming watch. The type of file where you don't leave as soon as the credits roll and free up your schedule to ruminate over on a long walk."
Filipiñana
KT🍅5/5
"Ben’Imana explores the soured gesture of forgiveness and hollow promise of reconciliation. For those, often women, that are on opposing sides left to pick up the pieces, the open-endedness of this file carried weight that leaves a deep impression."
Ben’Imana
Oti🍅5/5
"A heartbreaking look at the lasting effects of genocide and how survivors and perpetrators are left to navigate its aftermath. Powerful, necessary viewing that speaks to wounds carried across generations."
Ben’Imana
