Synopsis

At the age of five, Beldina and her family moved from Kisumu, Kenya to a small town in rural Dumfriesshire, Scotland. As her sister Leah explains “One flight from Nairobi, and Bel became a black person, before she was just a person”. In the 1990s as the only black family in their community, Bel grew up being “othered and marginalised, and questioning her worth”. The effects of this racism had an immeasurable impact on Bel’s mental health and her desire to be seen and heard. In telling Bel’s story, this film exposes the experience of being Black and Scottish. Bel expressed her feelings and thoughts in her obsessive writings and songwriting. This film explores how, despite her incredible gifts, it was still almost impossible for a Black woman to break through. In the past, a diary might form the basis for a biography, however Bel left a phone full of self-shot films and heart-stopping performances. This compelling archive, plus photographs, diaries and notebooks, brings Bel to life - combined with interviews with those who knew Bel best to create an insightful picture of a darkly humoured, supremely talented, troubled but joyous Kenyan-Scottish black woman determined to be heard.
