ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL
On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula stumbles
across the body of her uncle. As funeral proceedings begin around them, she and
her cousins bring to light the buried secrets of their middle-class Zambian
family, in filmmaker Rungano Nyoni’s
surreal and vibrant reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves. (Zambia, UK, Ireland, 2024, 95 mins, PG-13,
English & Bemba | Dir. Rungano Nyoni)
