The film is an ode to black excellence. at its core is Bonang; a vision, a personification of tectonic elegance. an updated portrait of a complex contemporary african artist. the film inherits it’s sensibilities from her, and serves to quietly punctuate the boundless potential of a potent black voice.

the cultural words in which the film is rooted reach deep into the continent and span the lineage of our cultures,

we stand on the shoulders of giants.
