“Reaffirms the strength of generational bonds and champions the desire of the new generation to question and provoke and demand answers.” The Evening Standard

In her debut feature documentary - a cinematic love letter spanning time and generations - Chloe Abrahams probes at raw questions her mother and grandmother have long brushed aside, untangling painful knots in her family’s unspoken past. Presented in partnership with Reclaim the Frame.

The Taste of Mango centres three extraordinary women: the director’s mother, Rozana; her grandmother, Jean; and Abrahams herself. Their intertwined stories testify to the ever-changing nature of inheritance and the ways in which we both hurt and protect the ones we love.

A vital look at the far-reaching effects of male violence and a personal meditation on family, memory, identity, solidarity, joy, and love, The Taste of Mango won both a BIFA for Best Debut Director and the Best Documentary Audience Award at BFI London Film Festival.

References to sexual violence, child sex abuse and domestic abuse.

The Taste of Mango opens for its full run on 30 Nov.
