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. After her acclaimed performance at the Scottish Album of the Year Awards in 2021, Bel took her own life, leaving behind raw, intimate video diaries and a hard drive full of original songs of great beauty. This stirring and beautifully composed film documents the journey her sister and friends took to release her work posthumously.
