A mother recounts her experience of growing up in Congo; an experience which shaped her as a woman, defined her as a mother and established deep-rooted family values. Motherland is an up close and personal documentary told through film and still images, exploring the way in which culture has a fundamental influence within the African Diaspora in London.
