We’re so pleased to be holding a conversation with Tabara from La Basketry and Yasin from Home Girls Unite to celebrate the release and International Women’s Day to discuss everything from sisterhood, support and the safe spaces which bond us. Join us over on Twitter on Tuesday 8th March at 2 pm to listen, and if you haven’t seen the film yet you’re in for a treat, sign up to 30 free days of MUBI via the link in bio to watch Lingui: The Sacred Bonds and more!
Description:
On the outskirts of N'Djamena in Chad, Amina lives alone with her only 15-year-old daughter Maria. Her already fragile world collapses the day she discovers that her daughter is pregnant. The teenager does not want this pregnancy. In a country where abortion is not only condemned by religion, but also by law, Amina finds herself facing a battle that seems lost in advance.
