Black Girl
Drama
Eager to find a better life abroad, a Senegalese woman becomes a mere governess to a family in southern France, suffering from discrimination and marginalization.
VIBE
A stark, unflinching look at the quiet indignities and profound isolation faced by a Black woman in a seemingly idyllic setting. It's a deeply personal and resonant portrayal of otherness and the search for belonging.
