DO NOT whistle at night is the first of a 12 episodes short-film anthology series (5 minutes per episode) that reimagines African taboos many of us grew up with – now staged in contemporary Europe. Exploring how far these taboos transcend Africa to the rest of the world and how other cultures have the same, similar or different taboos.

Each episode centers on one taboo, explored through grounded, realistic storyteling that blurs the line between superstition, psychology, and social regulation. The series does not explain or resolve; it provokes.

Crown or Class – Documentary Film Trailer from Kaay on Vimeo.

Crown or Class is a Pan-African feature documentary that follows two young African women; one in Belgium, the other in Ghana — whose journeys into natural hair care unfold into a powerful exploration of identity, beauty, and belonging. What begins as a personal choice becomes a wider reflection on how Eurocentric beauty standards continue to shape African women’s self-worth across continents

The film explores questions like;

What is the identity of black women’s hair?
Why is being “classy” often associated with African women wearing straight hair wigs?

How do historical, social, and media-driven narratives influence the perception of natural African hair?

What does embracing natural hair symbolize in the journey of self-acceptance and cultural pride?

“This film is about unlearning imposed standards and reclaiming our African identity, strand by strand.” – Kwaku Sikahene-Adarkwa, Director
