In the Name of Tradition, Religion and Family
The movie "The Valley of a Thousand Hills" is a beautiful drama set in South Africa and is co-written and directed by Bonie Sithebe. It follows the journey of two young women from a conservative village who are faced with the dilemma of choosing between adhering to their family's wishes or risking everything for the sake of true love.
The film centers on the intolerance of free love in the name of tradition, family, and religion in a very conservative Zulu village that can easily extrapolate to any region of the world. The movie explores LGBTQ+ prejudice in a simple and direct way and makes us question the number of unhappy and hurtful marriages, simply because they feel pressured to follow society's rules. It's regrettable that some individuals decide to live a life of unhappiness and discontentment simply because they love someone of the same gender.
