Anam's Wake (15 TBC)
Film

Anam is a professional mourner in Kenya, trained to summon Death and negotiate passage for the dead. But she carries a secret: since her mother died sixteen years ago, she has been unable to feel real grief.

When she is sent to conduct her first solo ritual at the home of a wealthy family, everything goes wrong. Death arrives early, and what should have been a simple negotiation becomes an interrogation.

To survive the night, Anam must uncover the truth about her mother's death and reclaim something she thought was lost forever.

This screening is will have a pre-recorded introduction from the director, and time for an informal discussion after the film. In partnership with Kikwetu Kenyan Community.
