The Body Beautiful
This daring, striking examination of a white mother undergoing a major mastectomy and her Black daughter embarking on a modeling career uncovers the devastating consequences of body image and the strain of race and sexual identity on their fraught, intensely loving bond. A intriguing blending of memory and dream lies at the heart of Onwurah's bold exploration of her mother's spurned sexuality. In an amazing tribute starring her real-life mother, Madge Onwurah, the filmmaker plumbs the depths of maternal strength and daughterly devotion.
