Film & indigenous languages discussion with prominent filmmakers (lukhanyo calata , ActionKommandant, Oratile, Deidre, Leon van Nierop ) & Thembi Thembinkosi/Mzingisi. Next week look out for an important conversation with Language Of My Soul filmmaker, @GregoryMolale. youtu.be/pGpzL4qJswk?si…

We talk to Gregory Molale who spent years making this groundbreaking film. He heard about Ouma Katrina Esau at a Puku #MoreBooksBetterBooks event. After that, he had to tell the story that has moved JOHN KANI OIS OBE to say it's the most beautiful film he has seen. Language Of My Soul youtu.be/Sz6zLcBFH_s?si…
