Swim Aunty Swim!

Krio Proverb: "The same rain that beats bitter-leaf until its bitter, beats sugar cane until it's sweet". Fatu is in search of a new life and a fresh start. Leaving London behind, she makes her way to Coventry. There she forms a friendship with fellow members of her new church, Aunty Blessing and Aunty Ama - a fiery, entertaining and sharp-witted duo of West African women in their prime, navigating changes and transitions in their own lives. At Ama's whim, the three of them embark on a watery challenge. What begins as light-hearted fun and a distraction from the mundane routine of life and church, becomes a ritual of healing and rebirth, after a season of grieving.
