Fishing for School is this haunting drama that really dives into the struggles of a young girl from a small village in Bénin. The way she’s sold first by her mother and then to a wealthy family captures the stark realities of exploitation. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of both her village and the overwhelming city life. What struck me is how the performances breathe life into these characters, especially the bond she forms with the family’s daughter—it's almost heartbreaking to watch how that friendship unravels. There’s a gritty authenticity here, with practical effects that ground the story. It’s a tough watch but a compelling glimpse into themes of loss and resilience.
