1. Azali (2018), the story about a 14 year old girl sent away to evade an arranged marriage, beginning a harrowing journey of sex work and poverty in the slums of Accra. explores the politics surrounding sexual abuse, amongst many other issues in Ghana, available on Netflix.

2. Isoken (2017), a Nigerian film about a woman who's arranged to marry an Edo man, but ends up unexpectedly falling for a white man. lmao. i have thoughts. available on Netflix.

3. Atlantics (2019), the BEAUTIFULLY BREATHTAKING Senegalese film about the ghosts of workers who return to haunt the old neighborhood they worked in. available on Netflix.

The Wound (2017), a South African film which explores masculinity through the story of a closeted relationship between two men in the context of the Xhosa initiation ritual of Ulwaluko. very necessary
