Danyah Miller

Danyah Miller explores what drives us to want to live perfect lives as mothers, daughters, wives, sisters, bread-winners.

What makes us want to be perfect?

What is so bad about imperfection anyway?

This is a universal story which considers one woman’s search for a richer understanding of her concept of perfection and what it means to accept imperfection in order to connect more deeply to her female line.

The show examines the often complex relationship between mothers and daughters and the challenge of discovering you may have more in common with your female ancestors than you care to admit.

Here we take a look in the mirror of five generations of women in one family, beginning with Danyah’s Great-Grandmother.
