Somebody tell the Ghanaian I also play 😅
I had a good time watching this 🇬🇭 film earlier today. Here is my quick comment from what stood out the most.
Congratulations to @zoeymartinson 🥳👏🏾
Just watched Matabeleland, a film directed by my friend Nyasha Kadandara/produced by Sam Soko.
It tells the story of Chris (ZW) who seeks to bury the remains of his father, a victim of Robert Mugabe’s Gukurahundi Genocide.
Watch it tomorrow @ 8pm at Unseen Nairobi @NBOFilmFest!

I got to watch, “The Dog” on Friday the 17th & I thought I was supporting a Kenyan Film. There’s however enough contribution from Kenyans to feel some pride 🇰🇪
It’s the visual clue for me
& congratulations to the team.
It was amazing meeting and engaging with everyone who came through for our @nbofilmfest screening at Unseen Nairobi.
We had a full house and a beautiful conversation with co-director @maialekow and cast member, Angela Wachuka moderated by @shebahirst . 💛
