Blood Is Not Fresh Water (Ethiopia, Theo Eshetu, 1998, DVD, 56 min, English, Amharic, and Italian with English subtitles) — Ethiopian-born director Theo Eshetu journeys to his land of origin through the story of his grandfather, Ato Tekle Tsadik Mekuria, an historian. Told in reverse chronology, the film delves into both the mythological and descriptive history of Ethiopia, creating an unexpectedly rich and complex portrait of the land's identity.
