About

Mother Suriname – Mama Sranan is a documentary by Tessa Leuwsha. Using a stream of partly colorized archival footage, it tells the life story of a Surinamese washerwoman, inspired by Leuwsha's grandmother Fansi. In the film a woman reflects on her life through narration and song; Denise Jannah is in the cast.
Fansi is born in 1905 in a small settlement. Her mother is white and her father Black, a combination that is considered a disgrace. She does not go to school and learns early how colonial relations work. She has a child, then moves to Paramaribo, where she has three more children and raises them alone.
