I had the absolute joy of attending the World Premiere of the short film RISE at the world-famous Tribeca Film Festival!
Inspired by the life of Tobias Mupfuti, RISE is written and directed by Jessica J Rowlands, executive produced by ZimExcellence fave Joe Njagu, and stars the ever-charismatic Tongayi Chirisa alongside breakout star Sikhanyiso Ngwenya.
In this episode, I share my interview with Jacques Naudé.
