The Taste of Mango Documentary Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: The Taste of Mango, Chloe Abrahams’ debut feature, 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.

00:43I know you dedicated your life to protecting me.
00:48And I didn't want you to think that you'd failed.
00:51But I think we're both ready now.
