Set in an unnamed African country, A TASTE OF OUR LAND is a film about greed told against the backdrop of the current Chinese influence in African countries.

When diverse representation is featured on-screen, it oftentimes comes with strings attached that undermine the message they were trying to send. This can be attributed to the fact that behind-the-screen, the industry primarily does not reflect the breadth of diverse difference that is present in daily life.
