There are three countries in the world entirely surrounded by one other country. Italy surrounds two, San Marino and Vatican City, while South Africa entirely surrounds Lesotho. Three other countries, Brunei, the Gambia, and Monaco, are in a similar situation except that they have a border with the sea.
This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection (2019 film by Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese)
This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection’s protagonist is Mantoa, (the late great Mary Twala), an 80 year-old childless widow in the Lesotho highlands. She directs her final energies into making proper arrangements for her own burial, even as the authorities try to relocate her village to make way for an irrigation project. Writer-director Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese’s film is an accomplished and ethereal meditation on the triumph of personal advocacy, culminating in a powerful terminal sequence that has Mantoa ascending to the realms of legendary status.
