You should watch the surreal new movie On Becoming a Guinea Fowl. It opens with a Zambian woman finding her uncle’s body on the road. His death brings the family together from near and far, but also resurfaces old wounds — wounds the elders would much rather ignore. It’s a powerful story about the silence that keeps families from breaking, but only in superficial ways, and with devastating consequences.
