We partnered with film professionals in Zimbabwe, Kenya and the UK to get the film out to the world – we ultimately became the first Zimbabwean feature film to be acquired by the streaming giant Netflix.

Before the film's worldwide release in 2020, we hosted various screenings, were selected for festivals around the world and even won a few awards.
