Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International Gugu Mbatha-Raw will lead the voice cast of the animated short film “To My Daughter.” The “Surface” star will narrate the movie, which is an adaptation of “This Thread of Gold,” the debut book by actor, writer, filmmaker and UN gender advisor Catherine Joy White (“Black Mirror,” “Ten Percent”). “This Thread of Gold” is billed as a celebration of Black womanhood, weaving a story about resilience that connects Beyoncé, Nina Simone, Shirley Chisholm and Meghan Markle, as well as those throughout history “who resisted in secret through trusted networks.” The film is described as “part guidebook, part exuberant narrative and part poetry.” White has adapted one chapter of the book, entitled “Daughter,” which is a letter written to her imagined daughter.

Mbatha-Raw will voice the narrator who leads the audience through the film. Mbatha-Raw said of the project: “I was immediately captivated by the poetry of Catherine Joy White’s ‘To My Daughter.’ Her words pulse with joy, legacy and mischief and I’m proud to give a voice to them in her animated short film.” Mbatha-Raw made her breakthrough with the British period drama “Belle” and is also known for the films “Beyond the Lights,” “Misbehaviour” and “Summerland.” She gained acclaim starring in the “Black Mirror” episode “San Junipero” (2016) which received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie.

She recently starred in the Apple TV+ series “The Morning Show” and “Surface.” White, who will also direct the short, has adapted the passage for the screen, following her award-winning short film “Fifty-Four Days,” which she wrote, co-directed, starred in and produced through Kusini Productions.
