Chloe Abrahams does not understand why her grandmother, Jean, does not leave her husband. He is suspected of paeodophilia and of raping Chloe’s mother, his step-daughter, when she was young in Sri Lanka. She was not his only victim, which Jean knows, but she steadfastly refuses to leave him.
Every time she comes to London to visit her daughter and granddaughter it is the elephant in the room but, as Abrahams grows up, she questions her grandmother more and more, sparking a reckoning that is the centre of hard-hitting new documentary, The Taste of Mango, screening in the Documentary Competition at the 2023 BFI London Film Festival.
