Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mami Wata is worshipped across West, Central, and Southern Africa—often depicted as a mermaid spirit who brings fortune but demands faithfulness. The film treats this mythology as living practice, not museum piece.
Director Ronan Mckenzie is also an acclaimed photographer; this explains the film's arresting visual confidence. Every shot could hang in a gallery.
