Review by Ola Salwa in Cineuropa
… In that emotional silence, occasionally interrupted by a palpable sense of loss and hurt, the tragedy of mutilated women is louder than bombs. It’s not only the personal bravery of Magoko that is impressive here: the fact that she has made such a personal documentary with so much elegance, precision and class also deserves high praise.
“In Search…” received “Beste Dokumentation (Eberhard-Fechner-Preis)” at “Studio Hamburg Nachwuchspreis”.
Congrats Beryl Magoko !!!

Begründung der Jury:
Regisseurin Beryl Magoko setzt sich mit dem Thema weiblicher Genitalverstümmelung auseinander und nimmt den Zuschauer mit auf eine sehr persönliche Reise in ihre eigene Geschichte. Die Jury ist beeindruckt vom enttabuisierten Zugang, den sie zu betroffenen Frauen gefunden hat, sowie von der Beleuchtung ihrer ganz eigenen Auseinandersetzung mit ihrem Schicksal. „In Search“ ist ein mutiger Film, der in seiner Intensität betroffen macht, aber gleichzeitig eine konstruktive Idee der Hoffnung vermittelt.
