Something About Zee is centered on the theme of neonatal death and inspired by a true life story.
A woman comforts her crying child but is faced with the harsh reality of her tragedy upon the arrival
of her husband. This short film tells the story of a heartbroken mother facing denialism as she
struggles with the death of a child she never had a chance to love.
Centered on the theme of neonatal death and inspired by a true life story, Something About Zee
creates awareness around neonatal death and the pain mothers (who have experienced this) go
through.
Something About Zee is also a 2022 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards nominated short film.
