The new film from acclaimed, BAFTA-winning director Rungano Nyoni (I Am Not a Witch), On Becoming A Guinea Fowl is a compelling drama about community and sisterhood.
Driving home from a party one night, Shula seems unfazed by the sight of her uncle’s dead body on the deserted road.
While preparations are made for his funeral, she finds herself plunged into the hidden secrets of her family. As tensions rise, Shula and her cousin Nsansa join forces to reconcile the past for a more hopeful future.
A fierce and darkly funny portrait of one woman’s strength in the face of crisis, Nyoni’s award-winning second feature proves her to be a distinctive filmmaker blazing a unique trail.
‘The black comedy On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, which last weekend picked up British independent film awards for best director and breakthrough performance (for Susan Chardy), is a fascinating, fresh take on a familiar theme’ – The Guardian ★★★★☆
