This groundbreaking short film initiative brings together three amazing African Stories by some of the most skillful and imaginative women filmmakers from the vast and diverse continent of Africa, collecting for the first time the beauty, humor, fury, frustration, intimacy, and spirituality of African womanhood. In Riches by Ingrid Sinclair (Zimbabwe), the young teacher Mollie moves to the countryside hoping for a better life. In this hostile community she loses her job and the love of her child, but not her will to fight. One Evening in July by Tunisian Raja Amari shows how Saida, a sixty-year-old beauty specialist for brides, finds herself in a moral quandary when her customer Miriam decides to kill her intended husband on her advice. Fanta Nacro from Burkina Faso made A Close-up on Bintou is a comedy about the housewife Antoinette, who sets up a lucrative business despite the opposition of her husband.
