Award: Documentary Award

Kutsiga represents things carried on the head in Bantu language of southern Africa.

In Africa, you can see many people walking on the street carrying things without the help of hand anywhere. For example: workers carry instrument bag on the head; peasants carry sundries to return home; vendors sell along the street with their goods baskets on their heads; children go to school with their bags on their heads; women even walk with baskets or jars as singing and dancing. Seen from their expression, they are happy and satisfied although poverty and hardship remain in their life.
