The Sound of Crickets at Night
March 27, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Find out more about the ‘APT9 Cinema: Microwave Films of the Marshall Islands’ program http://bit.ly/APT9Cinema_MicrowaveFilms
’The Sound of Crickets at Night’ is the story of a family displaced as a result of a nuclear testing on Bikini Atoll and now living in exile on Ejit Island on Majuro Atoll in the Marshall Islands.
Kali, a darling-though-curious 10-year-old Bikinian girl, watches in dismay as her mother and father argue bitterly, then finally separate and leave the island. Left alone to care for her elderly grandfather, Jebuki, who has been hiding a life-threatening illness, Kali deteriorates, refusing to eat, work or play. Fearing for his granddaughter’s wellbeing, Jebuki makes a desperate decision to summon Worejabato, an ancient deity from Bikini Atoll.
‘The Sound of Crickets at Night’ will screen again on Sunday 31 March at 2.45pm.
APT9 Cinema is free, no bookings required. #APT9QAGOMA
