The Taste Of Mango: Award winning Documentary about generational bonds

Taste of Mango, a documentary that affirms the power of generational connections while celebrating the new generation’s drive to question, challenge, and seek answers has won Best Documentary Audience Award at BFI London Film Festival 2023 and Best Debut Director Award, BIFA 2023. It is set to be released in UK and Irish Cinemas on 29th November 2024. The Taste of Mango is symbolic, invoking both the literal fruit and its metaphorical connection to the character’s search for roots, meaning, and sweetness amidst life’s struggles. The Taste of Mango is a beautiful, heartfelt exploration of belonging and identity. A feature by columnist Riccha Grrover for Asian Lite International. 

This astonishingly personal documentary about a young female filmmaker’s inter-generational trauma and healing across 3 generations of women – her mother, grandmother and herself, won both the BFI LFF Best Documentary audience award & Best Debut Director Award at the BIFAs. 

Conic is delighted to announce that the BIFA and BFI London Film Festival award-winning documentary ‘The Taste of Mango’ will be released in UK and Irish cinemas from 29th November 2024.

Director Chloe Abrahams’ debut feature documentary ‘The Taste of Mango’ won the Best Debut Director Award at the 2023 BIFAs and the Best Documentary Audience Award at the 2023 BFI London Film Festival.

In this hypnotically cinematic love letter flowing through time and generations, director Chloe Abrahams probes raw questions her mother and grandmother have long brushed aside, tenderly untangling painful knots in her family’s unspoken past.

‘The Taste of Mango’ is an enveloping, hypnotic, urgently personal meditation on family, memory, identity, violence and love. At its centre are three extraordinary women: the director’s mother, Rozana; her grandmother, Jean; and the director herself. Their stories, by turns difficult and jubilant, testify to the entangled and ever-changing nature of inheritance and the ways in which we both hurt and protect the ones we love.

Director Chloe Abrahams said: “I’m thrilled to be bringing The Taste of Mango to audiences in partnership with the wonderful team at Conic who consistently champion the best in independent cinema. I made this film as a way of connecting three generations in my own family, and I hope it helps to open up healing conversations across the U.K. and Ireland.”
