A24’s On Becoming a Guinea Fowl is a harrowing look at voiceless abuse survivors

Over the course of the narrative, more and more information about Fred’s troubling character emerges, revealing the extent of his terrible personality traits. The shocking truth is that his inappropriate actions have been accepted as normal for a long time. Unfortunately, many family members were aware of these unforgivable acts but chose to look the other way. As a result, the women who suffered sexual abuse at the hands of their late uncle began to view such behavior as commonplace. Even the older relatives failed to take any action against it.
