1001 Days is a 2023 British–South African documentary feature film directed by Kethiwe Ngcobo and Chloe White[1] about health professionals aiding mothers and children in Alexandra, South Africa, during the first three years after birth.[3]
Release
The world premiere of the film was on 6 March 2023 at the South African international film festival RapidLion.[2]
It premiered in the United Kingdom on 15 June at Sheffield DocFest,[3] played in South Africa again on 28 and 29 June at Encounters South African International Documentary Festival[4] and premiered in the Netherlands in November 2023 at International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.[5]
Reception
Frame Independent's review of the premiere at RapidLion describes 1001 Days as "one of the first and most captivating films I caught" and "a thoroughly engrossing and claustrophobic documentary extrapolating personal testimony with sometimes excruciating honesty." The reviewer points out that "the film throws up a most apposite conundrum… the role of men in South African Society, particularly amongst the working class".[6]
The film was played in competition for the Youth Jury Award at Sheffield DocFest and was given a special mention by the jury, who said it "prioritized collaboration and intimacy and told the stories of these young women in a way that was non-exploitative and honest."[7]
