Title: Nana (2025) Producer: MacPolly Koima Genre(s): Drama Cast: Michael Bulina, Richandah Wallan Nana is a film which captures the struggle of two young children and their survival in Port Moresby city after a tragic incident forces them out of their village. The film covers themes of family, survival, Gender-Based Violence and sorcery-related violence. It communicates a raw, brutal, harsh but much-needed message of waking up to the reality of the fact that not everyone is living the same life as the other person. What stands out to me most in the film, is the stark contrast depicted between the struggling youths in the city and the working class. On one hand, you have youths struggling to survive through working odd jobs and scavenging among rubbish for food. On the other hand, you have the fortunate working class, who have steady jobs and are able to live decent lives. Despite the cast being amateurs, the message was powerfully communicated. There were some scenes that looked like the background was green screen and occasionally the dialogue delivered was monotonous but otherwise decently performed for an amateur cast. The cast and crew deserve praise for putting in the effort to produce a film that depicts some of the harsh realities facing our societies today.
