About This Movie
The Ragged Ones is one of those documentaries that really draws you into the harsh realities faced by the Basotho in Lesotho. It’s not just about their struggles with famine and poverty; there’s this haunting exploration of their witchcraft beliefs that feels almost like a science in itself. The tone is raw, a mix of desperation and resilience, and you can really feel the spirit of the people through their stories. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to sit with the weight of their experiences. What stands out is how it contrasts the beauty of the Basotho landscape with the stark difficulties of life there. The practical effects? Well, it’s all real life, and that brings an authenticity that’s sometimes missing in more stylized documentaries. Definitely a distinct voice in the genre.
