Short Film Review: “Michael Solace” Contemplates Selling Out and Selling His Soul

Aicha works tirelessly selling whey to meet all the needs of her little daughter Malika. In the evening in the slum, several people are sick and some die. The others wake up the next day, wander around the slum and bite people. The epidemic spreads insidiously, the first undead are slow and clumsy. People avoid them. But there are more and more. While returning home with her daughter, Aïcha is attacked by a pack of zombies. She falls on a stone and remains inanimate. When Aïcha finally wakes up, Malika is no longer there. She begins to look for her daughter, who for her part is looking for her mother. Everyone does everything to avoid succumbing to the zombie attacks and finding their way out of the slum before it's too late...

White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.
