Mama General is this haunting documentary that takes a raw look at poverty in the midst of wealth. It follows a family, the Cologne family B., who despite escaping the homelessness asylum, are still trapped in a cycle of debt and uncertainty. You feel the weight of their struggles, watching the parents and their seven kids grappling with a reality that feels almost impossible to shake off. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with their hardships, and there’s a gritty realism in how it’s shot. The performances, especially from the parents, feel authentic and unfiltered, giving you a visceral sense of their emotional states. It’s not just about the struggle—it’s about the hope and despair intertwined in their daily lives.
