A powerfully bittersweet image of the loneliness and sacrifice in migration stories, centred on a Nigerian-British family

Sankofa Film Collective's Maureen Blackwood renders the often unspoken experience of loneliness and sacrifice within migration stories. To ease her homesickness Miriam recreates an aspect of home in her suburban British garden. Cultural memory exerts a healing power, combatting cultural appropriation, hostility towards migrants and the rift between Miriam and her Nigerian-British children.

Story about lonely Miriam who builds a mud hut in her garden through which she is able to share memories of her rural African existence with her children.
