Fufu

Directed by Omolola Ajao
Canada, 2021 (fiction, 14 minutes, colour, English)

Film Description:
"Omolola Ajao's narrative short—the final instalment in a three-part short-film series about young African womanhood—is a subjective portrait of a first-generation immigrant daughter's recollection of her mother's life. Through what is intended to be the perfect creation of a childhood meal of fufu, the daughter immerses herself in the labour of tradition and remembrance. In this imperfect reflection, the daughter dives into reminiscence and looks back on her relationship with her mother."
