Directed by Harley Weir and styled by Julia Sarr-Jamois and featuring Dakar’s local wrestlers dressed in Grace’s Ebonics collection, this short film delves deeper into their mystical world as they douse themselves in lucky goat’s milk, chew on string to counteract the unlucky tongue, and wake up at 5am to train down by the Pink Lake.
