Umbilical Cords

Followed by a Q&A with director Sarah Ping Nie Jones

WATCH THE TRAILER

This searingly honest film untangles the bonds and binds of mother-daughter relationships, traveling from South Africa to the UK, Argentina, and Lesotho to follow its six characters’ stories. Inspired by the filmmaker’s own experience of her mother’s rejection of her partner because of his race, the film delicately and beautifully traces many themes – romantic love, race, migration, and the power of family ties.
