A candid portrait of black sisterhood

Sisterhood = Self-care.

Talk the Ting testifies to the power of queer Black sisterhood through the lens of UK-based podcasting trio Sistren. Together, Michelle, babirye and DJ have made listeners howl laughing at their nuanced Black British musings but what inspires their international audience is the intimate relationship they maintain with each other. 

Shot over the course of a week, the film features the three sister-friends dishing on their African upbringing, mental health, and the influences that inform how they love themselves and each other. With a combination of candid interviews, verité footage, and mesmerizing montages paired with a unique soundtrack; Talk the Ting makes an intimate exploration into the love story behind every Black female friendship.
