In her debut feature documentary - a cinematic love letter spanning time and generations - Chloe Abrahams probes at raw questions her mother and grandmother have long brushed aside, untangling painful knots in her family’s unspoken past.

The Taste of Mango centres three extraordinary women: the director’s mother, Rozana; her grandmother, Jean; and Abrahams herself. Their intertwined stories testify to the ever-changing nature of inheritance and the ways in which we both hurt and protect the ones we love.

A vital look at the far-reaching effects of male violence and a personal meditation on family, memory, identity, solidarity, joy, and love, The Taste of Mango won both a BIFA for Best Debut Director and the Best Documentary Audience Award at BFI London Film Festival.
