Here are all the Prime Originals coming to Mzansi subscribers’ screens in the first month of the new year. We’re particularly excited to see Regina King’s directorial debut, One Night in Miami, and to watch the gripping Irish drama Herself. Happy streaming, one and all!
Herself | 8 January 2020
Single-mother Sandra (Clare Dunne) escapes her abusive partner with her two young children, only to find herself trapped in temporary accommodation. After months of struggling, she draws inspiration from one of her daughter’s bedtime stories and hits upon the idea of self-building an affordable home.
She finds an architect who provides her with plans and is offered land by Peggy (Harriet Walter), a woman she cleans for. Aido (Conleth Hill), a building contractor, appears willing to help too. But as her past rears its head, in the form of Gary (Ian Lloyd Anderson), her possessive ex, and as bureaucrats fight back against her independent spirit, will Sandra be able to rebuild her life from the ground up?
