On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula (Susan Chardy) 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, throwing the traditional proceedings into turmoil that threatens to reframe the family’s legacy and standing in the community. ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL is filmmaker Rungano Nyoni’s (I AM NOT A WITCH) surreal and vibrant new film, a funny and profound reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves.

In Bemba and English with English subtitles.
