When a beloved uncle dies suddenly, a Zambian family gathers to mourn—but old wounds and buried secrets quickly rise to the surface. As the rituals unfold, a young woman begins to question the official narrative surrounding his death and confronts the culture of silence that surrounds abuse. On Becoming A Guinea Fowl blends dark humor and poignant critique, offering a striking examination of grief, complicity, and generational trauma. With bold visual storytelling and sharp dialogue, the film challenges taboos and reframes the idea of what it means to speak the truth in the face of denial.
