I Think She’s a Musungu

About This Movie

I Think She’s a Musungu is a documentary that dives into the life of young Erna Kanema, an 8-year-old girl navigating her mixed heritage. Living in Reykjavik, she juggles her Icelandic and Zambian backgrounds, which is beautifully captured during her journey to Zambia with her family. The pacing feels natural, almost like a home video, and it gives you time to soak in the little moments – Erna's interactions with her relatives, her curiosity, and those candid reflections on identity and belonging. The practical effects are minimal, but the realness of the people and places elevates the viewing experience. There's a warmth that permeates through the film, allowing us to see how family ties stretch across continents.
