  • "A six ans, Manka fuit de son domicile pour échapper aux maltraitances de sa tante. Sonita a eu le courage de porter plainte pour viol contre son voisin. Amina a décidé de mettre fin, devant un tribunal, à son mariage et ainsi aux violences de son époux. A Kumba, petite ville du sud-ouest du Cameroun, l'association "Sister in Law" suit les représentantes féminines du Conseil d'Etat et de la Cour dans leur travail ayant comme objectif d'aider les femmes à changer leurs conditions de vie et de veiller à leurs droits. Kim Longinotto offre par ce film un message d'espoir et de courage : elle présente ici une étude perspicace et émouvante de la vie de ces femmes et la difficulté persistante entre tradition et changement."
