Synopsis: "mandem" is a poetic documentary that explores the deeper meaning of 'mandem' beyond its stereotypes. Inspired by the late poet and friend Gboyega Odubanjo, the film delves into the significance of the term within the Black British collective through conversation and a poem written by director Joladé Olusanya. Set in a traditional English lecture room, it challenges Western perceptions and highlights the diversity of 'mandem' through personal stories across gender, belief systems, and professions. At its core, the film is an ode to identity, community, and envisioning the future of a word that ultimately unites and empowers.
