Milisuthando Bongela

MILISUTHANDO is a poetic coming-of-age personal essay documentary on love and what it means to become human in the context of race, explored through the memories of Milisuthando herself – who grew up during apartheid but didn't know it was happening until it was over.

A deeply intimate portrait of past, present and future South Africa, blending poetry, film, and photography into a striking cinematic essay,  Milisuthando Bongela explores love, friendship, and belonging in a South Africa stratified by racism – proving that only if we understand its tentacles, can we begin to extricate ourselves from its clutches.

In cinemas from 18th October, screening as part of SNAPSHOT.
