Filmmaker Yunus Vally was convinced that the promised virgins of paradise would all be white. Born and raised in Nelspruit, a deeply racist town in provincial South Africa, Vally grew up in a Muslim family, attended Mosque five times daily and dreamed of paradise. But as a young man, Vally decided he wanted to find out if the promised virgins were worth the wait. This creatively composed and humorous film looks at white women in the dark continent and explores the forbidden sexual desires of blacks and whites under apartheid. Probing and provocative, The Glow of White Women explores one man's desire and taboo.

This was full of promise, and had good editing and archives. Unfortunately, every time he started talking about something interesting, he'd laugh it off and start talking about his lust, instead. Lacked a coherent structure, full of talking head interviews, 80% of which were himself.
And repeatedly picking your nose, while intervewing yourself, is not only self-indulgent, but also very distracting for the audience.
To top it all off, he answered every question in the Q&A with "I don't know how to answer that," after flaunting his love of philosophy throughout the film.
Seems like a vehicle to get laid.
