Yellow Fever

Ng'endo Mukii

Synopsis

Concerning the concept of skin and race, and what they imply; the ideas and theories sown into our flesh that change with the arc of time. The film focuses on African women’s self-image, through memories and interviews; using mixed media to describe our almost schizophrenic pursuit of globalised beauty.
