About This Movie
We Will Be Who We Are is a quietly powerful film set against the backdrop of Sierra Leone. It explores the lives of two queer best friends, Aya and Boi, who choose to marry not out of love but as a means of defying societal norms. The tone is somber yet hopeful, with a pacing that allows for deep character exploration rather than rushed plot points. The performances are raw and very genuine, making their internal struggles resonate. The film avoids flashy effects, relying instead on poignant storytelling and realistic settings to convey its themes of identity and resistance. It’s this approach that gives the film its distinctive voice, making you reflect on the lengths people will go to be true to themselves.
