Synopsis
What does it mean to be a Black woman rapper, a Cornell Ph.D. candidate, a teacher, and a proud nerd — all at once? ENONGO sets out to answer that question with honesty and style.
An award-winning animation-documentary hybrid from Director Kevin Schreck, the film follows Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo — known as SAMMUS — as she tours North America, records a new album, and navigates a full-time music career alongside academic life.
With her autobiographical, afrofuturism-inspired music, she tackles mental health, identity, race, gaming, and feminism, earning a devoted following that spans activists, hip-hop heads, punks, and proud geeks alike.
The film blends vérité footage with hand-drawn animation created entirely by an all-Black women team — the first in the history of feature filmmaking — bringing to life the interior world behind the public persona: the Ithaca upbringing, the years teaching in Houston, the return to Cornell, and the music that threads it all together.
