Mama Shekinah

About This Movie

Mama Shekinah is an intriguing documentary that dives into the chaotic lives of Colin and Hedi, two souls with starkly contrasting struggles. Colin, this wild spirit from Bermuda, grapples with a turbulent past filled with drugs and the darker sides of life, while Hedi embodies a more ethereal, almost haunting presence, caught in her own cycle of spiritual obsession and self-destruction. Their meeting at an inner healing school in England creates a tension that really fuels the film. The pacing can feel meditative, reflecting the inner turmoil of the characters. The way they navigate their turbulent relationship against the backdrop of East Africa, with its dramatic landscapes, lends the film a kind of raw authenticity. It’s not just a love story, more a collision of worlds, perspectives, and the quest for redemption.
