  abstract: This film is a lyrical yet hard-edged look at the lives and spirit of migrant mine workers from Lesotho, as expressed through difela, their eloquent, autobiographical oral poetry. This is not easy listening, and the poetic aura that surrounds the Sothos is extraordinary. The film looks at the country's other musics in both individual and group performances. Difela combines the tough, earthy language of mining life with unexpected poetic touches, sung out in a flowing chant. Taken on its own terms, difela is a raw beauty in the face of a life of abject misery. It is infused with startling imagery and vibrant execution that illuminates the suffering and bitterness behind it.
