Sarah (Nana Mensah) is a gifted Ivy League doctoral candidate, weeks away from following her married boyfriend to Ohio when she receives word that her mother has died. Her death leaves Sarah in charge of executing a week-long, traditional Ghanaian funeral and positions her as the owner of a religious bookstore in the Bronx, pieces of a cultural legacy Sarah is ill-equipped to manage. As Sarah spends more time in the world her mother built, she is surrounded by a cast of vibrant and eclectic characters. It becomes apparent that, by comparison, Sarah’s life is lonely and sterile after years of rejecting her community in pursuit of assimilation. In her dazzling directorial debut, writer and star Mensah deftly articulates the complicated nature of trying to occupy two distinct identities without ever fully committing to either. Queen of Glory is a compassionate and culturally specific tale of a woman stumbling toward self-acceptance through grief.
