1991
This daring, breathtaking examination of a white mother who gets a major mastectomy and her Black daughter who begins on a modeling career uncovers the significant consequences of body image and the strain of race and sexual identity on their strained, intensely loving relationship. A intriguing blending of memory and fiction lies at the heart of Onwurah's bold foray into her mother's scorned sexuality. In an extraordinary tribute starring her own mother, Madge Onwurah, the director explores the depths of maternal strength and daughterly loyalty.
