Description

"Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showin' you?" Diana Ross's lyrics bring the past into the present in this Nollywood-inspired sequel to her 1975 cult film Mahogany. A celebration of beauty, ambition and fashion, this reimagining blends vintage and visionary reflections of what the mirror sees. Angie Driscoll
