Sandulela Asanda

MIRROR MIRROR is a coming-of-age film that shows a video call between 17-year-old Luthando and her best friend Jodie. Together they try to explore their sexuality – but Luthando doesn't quite succeed. In this film, Sandulela Asanda processes her own frustrating experiences as a young black girl who was taught in a girls' school that female desire is always shameful. The timely form of a video call between two charismatic female friends makes this film as entertaining as it is empowering.
