Among the first mainstream Hollywood films to tackle the subject of racial discrimination against Black Americans, Pinky tells the story of a white-passing nurse in the South.
In this Nollywood folk horror family melodrama, Jennifer (Slyvanus), an ogbanje (evil spirit child), passes for human. The literal meaning of ogbanje, in the Igbo language, is children who come and go—evil, childlike spirits who die and then are reborn again to torture their parents with sorrow. In Sympathy, Jennifer makes a defiant choice, despite the continued protests from her coven of menacing ogbanje sisters. Digitally transferred from VHS.
