Don’t Be Late for My Funeral Screening & Q&A with the Film Maker

Filmmaker Diana Keam returns to the rural town where Margaret has retired, to honour the woman who helped raise her — her other mother. What begins as a visit becomes a deeply personal reflection on love, sacrifice and a bond that endured apartheid’s divisions.
Margaret was more than a domestic worker — she became the heart of Diana’s family and a pillar in her own community. As memories and old secrets surface, Diana comes to understand that some connections transcend boundaries, history and even death. A deeply personal love letter to selfless care and chosen family, and a reminder of Margaret’s lesson: love never dies.
