Ukumila
A poignant look at the lives of young South African women navigating the cultural, emotional, and economic pressures of Eurocentric beauty ideals.
Sprouting explores the complex relationship between South African women and their hair. Focusing on the cultural, emotional, and economic pressures they face in conforming to Eurocentric standards of beauty, the film talks to five women about their hair and the many different ways that it can affect both how they feel about themselves and how they are viewed by the world. As the film progresses, the womenโs conversations with the camera help them to come to terms with who they are and put them on the path to self-acceptance.
