This sweet documentary is made by two young Australian boys, Oliver Rafeh (Director) and Lucas Rafeh (Cast) and written and produced by Genway Rafeh. The boys arrive in a village in Liberia and we follow them as they become involved in the community as it prepares for a wedding, making music and dancing. The boys join in the festivities and are warmly greeted by the gatherers, young and old. At the wedding, the bride appears in a gorgeous white dress led by a group of attendants all dressed alike, singing and dancing. Good camera work; good audio and good narration by the young hosts. What a lovely introduction to Liberian culture and its beautiful people. It definitely only scratches the surface, but it's a good start at understanding this culture.
The film's message is to show us a traditional Liberian wedding.
I give A Liberian Wedding 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Marilyn S., KIDS FIRST!
