Beatrice Taisamo
- Movie: ‘Futuma’
- Role: Futuma
- Country: Tanzania
Beatrice Taisamo‘s best moments in ‘Futuma’ were those where we see her obviously protecting her daughter from being drawn into an ancient marriage system. She is not the decision-maker in the family like the film tells us, but she manages to protect her daughter and prepare her for a better future. Taisamo’s character is competing with other characters that are almost certainly perfectly portrayed. Even if it’s not the award for the best African actress in a leading role, Futuma does deserve a win at the AMAA Awards this year.
