Well, now I feel like I have a completely frivolous life. I just came from the press screening of Rough Aunties, a documentary about a group of women in South Africa who work with the police to bring child abusers to justice and help hurt children heal. Director Kim Longinotto doesn't follow a strict dramatic structure with the film; she simply takes her camera and follows the women behind the child welfare group Bobbi Bear -- Jackie, Eureka, Mildred, Thuli, and Sdudla -- and the one white male police officer assigned to help them track down and arrest the adult abusers -- as they interview abuse victims, arrest perpetrators, and deal with tragedies that affect their own lives.

The result isn't the most beautifully shot theatrical doc you'll ever see, but these strong, feisty women are inspiring as they work to help the young victims who come into their care. David saw Rough Aunties in Amsterdam and raved about it, and while I'm perhaps not quite as completely over the moon about it as he was, there's no doubt it's a powerfully affecting film about a group of women who are fighting to make a difference in the lives of the kids they work with.

Batting two-for-two on the first full day of Sundance ... a pretty good start to the fest. More to come later, after I gulp down some dinner to keep going for my next screening, Humpday.
