A tragedy causes an elderly woman to journey deep into her subconscious and ponder the afterlife. What do black women’s dreams look like? In Mount Misery we journey deep into the subconscious of a woman who has just suffered a great loss. Inspired by early avant-grade cinema, the film is a response and a critique of the lack of realistic representation and diversity in the mainstream media.
