Becoming is a participatory documentary that follows the emotional journey of Thandi, a female initiate within the Basotho culture. Her story begins with who she was as a young girl and what prompted her to undergo initiation. As it develops, we learn of the secrecy around the practice and how it has shaped her as an individual, delving deep into how her experience as a woman is different to that of one who hasn't undergone initiation, the differences she has seen within herself and the world around her after coming back from the process. This documentary aims to explore what it is to be a woman through a cultural lens and the impacts on woman's emotional state
