We were thrilled to welcome Rachel M’Bon, the Co-Director of “Je suis noires/Becoming A Black Woman” as our keynote speaker, who opened the event by sharing the backstory of her documentary.

 

“Je suis noires/Becoming A Black Woman” is the first film in Switzerland that gives a voice to black Swiss women and denounces systemic racism in Switzerland and abroad.

 

It is in this context that Rachel M’Bon begins her own search for identity. On her way to liberation, she questions her past, her present and holds up a mirror to her country and her peers. Together with filmmaker Juliana Fanjul, the Swiss-Congolese journalist, she interrogates her country and portrays six protagonists. Each of them tells a story that reflects her own personal path to liberation.
