GFS: Queen of Glory

CLUB78 min

Synopsis

Brilliant student Sarah has decided to quit her PhD program so she can follow her boyfriend to Ohio. But Sarah’s plans are upended when her Ghanaian mother dies unexpectedly, leaving behind a Christian bookshop in the Bronx called “King of Glory”. Sarah must decide how to get rid of the shop, whilst also trying to organise a “traditional” funeral and deal with her useless father. Forced to confront both her grief and lack of connection to her own culture, Sarah starts to re-evaluate her life. Nana Mensah writes, directs and stars in her impressive award-winning debut about a woman trying to find her own path. Sparkling with real wit and emotion, Mensah has created a refreshingly honest and touching dramedy.
