Manojhara 1969

Directed by Dominique Dubosc

MANOJHARA portrays – in their own words – the experiences of the residents of Paraguay’s Santa Isabel leper colony. They narrate images of life in the colony with statements about moving from the periphery of the colony, where the healthier patients stay, to the center, where the dying patients are, as well as anticipation of a celebration and not wanting to feel ill and outcast.
