Enongo
Directed by: Kevin Schreck
Country: United States / Canada
Minutes: 92
ENONGO is an award-winning, feature-length animation-documentary hybrid and the inspiring story of rapper/producer/Ph.D. candidate, Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo, a.k.a., Sammus. With her autobiographical and afrofuturism-inspired music, Enongo tackles various subjects including (but certainly not limited to) mental health, growing up, and relationships. Through a combination of actuality and animation, the film tells a universally-relevant, intimate, empowering story of identity, artistic creation, and survival. Notably, it is the first feature-length film of any genre in history to have an all-Black women animation team.
