On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula 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, in filmmaker Rungano Nyoni’s surreal and vibrant reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves.
“On Becoming a Guinea Fowl is a reckoning, and Nyoni proves to be a force as a filmmaker.” – Filmspotting
“It feels so specific and also universal, which are my favorite kinds of movies.” – FilmWeek
