Ethiopian-Australian filmmaker Ruth Hunduma hears her mother’s testimony of surviving the ‘Red Terror’ genocide of Ethiopia in the 1970s.

Boasting a prolific festival run, The Medallion is an acclaimed work of personal documentation. The film mixes to-camera testimony, newly shot footage and historical images – from newsreels to family photos – with flights into poetry and haunting music by Kenyan composer and sound artist Nyokabi Kariuki.
