Rungano Nyoni's 'On Becoming A Guinea Fowl' Costumes

www.indiewire.com: A number of uncanny things happen at the start of “On Becoming A Guinea Fowl.” Shula (Susan Chardy), driving home from a fancy dress party outside of Lusaka, spots a pair of cowboy boots that belong to a man laid out on the side of the road. Upon further inspection, the man is a corpse. And the corpse is her Uncle Fred (Roy Chisha). The fact that her uncle is dead sets the machinery of Zambian funeral traditions into motion, whether or not Shula is ready to mourn.
