About the film:

The emotional relevance of this personal family story, which is about the tender bonds between mothers and their daughters, is sure to touch hearts. Nontshokweni explains, “My siblings and I discovered that after our mother had lost her first child, uNobuntu, in 1983, she started writing poetry in isiXhosa to allay her grief. She continued writing over the past 25 years, but was unable find a publisher for her collection of poetry.” Then, during the pandemic, Nontshokweni organised a development editor and they worked through the manuscript and in September 2022, the documentary was filmed. 

Director: Sihle - Isipho Nontshokweni

Duration: 40mins followed by a Q&A.
