BROKEN by Lunga Yeni
Director Lunga Yeni
Producer Luyanda Lipere
BROKEN explores black British women's sexual politics in a world of virtual love and minimum commitment. Set in a luxurious hair salon on the morning of Samantha's wedding. An idealistic young man and five passionate women tell their touching, painful and all too familiar stories; of BROKEN trust, BROKEN hope and BROKEN dreams. Stories that unfold in scattered, embittered shards around them.
