This seminal documentary tells the story of an Albanian farmer who has to decide whether to follow his ancient code of honour and take revenge on a neighbour who killed his son in a dispute over cattle, or whether to forgive the blood feud for the sake of Albanian unity against the Serbs.
Dokufest: "The film follows the mass movement for the forgiveness of blood feud launched among the Albanian population in the 1990s.
The movement started with a group of radical students who had recruited the Professor of Folklore at Pristina University, Anton Çetta, to guide them through the intricacies of clan feuds. The film takes as a case-study one of the last families who were, in 1991, refusing to ‘gift the blood’ of their murdered son to his killer’s family. ‘Forgiving the Blood’ is a fine example of the visual ethnographic use of a single case to unpick a far broader and deeper political story. Inter alia, it explores the ways a marginal farming family manages to resist great pressure to speak and act as members of a national citizenry."
