The Voice of the Kora: A Film About Identity, Belonging, and Acceptance in Senegal Aymar Esse's film "My Father's Kora" is a nuanced portrayal of queer identity in Senegal.
It explores the complexities of human experience where traditional culture and personal identity intersect.
The kora, an instrument with deep roots in West African tradition, serves as a metaphor for Souleymane Everston Adowo Freudenreich's journey to repair his father's instrument.
