Episode notes

In this special LIVE Q&A for On Becoming A Guinea Fowl, moderator Catherine Munyarari, co-chair of the Young Africa Centre Comittee, talks to award-winning director Rungano Nyoni and actors Susan Chardy and Elizabeth Chisela about their new film at the Ritzy cinema in Brixton. 



The event was produced in collaboration with Dark Matter Marketing and Picturehouse Entertainment. On Becoming A Guinea Fowl is in cinemas now.

The new film from acclaimed, BAFTA-winning director Rungano Nyoni (I Am Not a Witch), ON BECOMING A GUINEA FOWL is a compelling drama about community and sisterhood. Driving home from a party one night, Shula seems unfazed by the sight of her uncle's dead body on the deserted road. While preparations are made for his funeral, she finds herself plunged into the hidden secrets of her family. As tensions rise, Shula and her cousin Nsansa join forces to reconcile the past for a more hopeful future. A fierce and darkly funny portrait of one woman’s strength in the face of crisis, Nyoni’s award-winning second feature proves her to be a distinctive filmmaker blazing a unique trail.
