“BECOMING A BLACK WOMAN” BY RACHEL M’BON

In Switzerland, a land of consensus and neutrality, unprecedented voices are being raised by women who are fighting for the recognition of structural racism, deconstructing stereotypes and claiming their dual Swiss and black identity.
In this context, Rachel (Barbezat) M'Bon, a Swiss-Congolese journalist, begins her own quest for identity. On her way to emancipation, she questions her past, her present and holds up a mirror to her country and her peers.

Her documentary film won a Swiss Film Award and the Prix Artopie at the Festival International du film sur les droits humains in 2023.
