Madagasikara - Beyond the postcards, three mothers fight for survival in Madagascar

Far from the tourist imagery and pop-culture portrayals, this compelling documentary presents the harsh realities of life on the island for those who are too often ignored.

Centered on three courageous mothers, the film paints a portrait of endurance and dignity in the face of economic despair and political indifference. As they struggle daily to provide for their children and push against the limits of systemic neglect, their stories expose a side of Madagascar that few ever see—and no one should ignore.
