Louise Lockwood’s debut theatrical documentary is a compelling, sensitive portrait of Beldina Odenyo, the Kenyan-Scottish musician, singer and songwriter, who performed under the stage name, Heir of the Cursed and worked across Scotland’s theatre and poetry communities.

This stirring and beautifully composed film documents the journey her sister and friends took to release her work posthumously, including her thoughtful reflections on mental health, racism and the diaspora experience,…
