FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS: On Her Shoulders follows Nobel-Peace prize winner, twenty-three-year-old Nadia Murad, who survived the 2014 genocide of the Yazidis in Northern Iraq and escaped the hands of ISIS to become a relentless beacon of hope for her people. (Sponsored by SIT)

Yellow is Forbidden, a modern day Cinderella story where the brave, diminutive and daring heroine's dream doesn't end at the ball - China's Guo Pei is chasing every designer's fantasy - to become part of the exclusive yet savage world of Haute Couture.

Rafiki, when love blossoms between Kena and Ziki, the two Kenyan girls are forced to choose between happiness and safety. When released in director Wanuri Kahiu's home country of Kenya where homosexuality is a criminal offense, this film that sparked international controversy. Though being the first Kenyan film to be featured at Cannes, it was initially banned for its positive representation of lesbians. A bright, Afropop-infused love-story that's not to be missed!
