Black Burns Fast
Black Burns Fast is a queer and quirky coming-of-age film set in at a prestigious boarding school in South Africa. 17-year-old adorkable Luthando is on track for a normal academic year until Ayanda arrives at the school and forces her to rethink everything. In the aftermath, Luthando struggles with juggling multiple identities to avoid rejection from her mother and her schoolmates as she comes to terms with her sexuality.
