Bel

This stirring documentary chronicles the life of Beldina Odenyo, a Kenyan Scottish musician, singer and songwriter who performed under the stage name Heir of the Cursed and engaged with Scotland’s theatre and poetry communities. After her acclaimed performance at the Scottish Album of the Year Awards in 2021, Bel took her own life. She left behind raw, intimate video diaries and a hard drive full of original songs of great beauty. The film follows the journey her sister and friends undertook to release her work posthumously, presenting a heartfelt, insightful portrait of a complex, intelligent and profoundly talented young woman.
