Nanny
Nikyatu Jusu’s acclaimed horror movie “Nanny” won the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival at the start of the year.
Anna Diop gives a breakout performance as Aisha, an undocumented Senegalese Immigrant nanny who gets hired to work for an Upper East Side family in New York City. The job doesn’t go according to plan. “In this bold debut, writer-director Nikyatu Jusu conjures figures from West African folklore to critique
another myth: the American Dream,” writes Variety critic Peter Debruge. “Jusu brings fresh eyes to this widely accepted story dynamic, so rarely seen from the perspective of the immigrant worker herself.”
