Premiere of Maria’s Vision in the UK (Pictures)
The University of Bedfordshire in Luton (UK) was the setting for the premiere of the Zimbabwean film Maria’s Vision.
Directed by former Miss Zimbabwe UK 2010, Tendai Mudhliwa, the film stars Memory Savanhu and musician Ogga Kattalog among others.
The 110-minute drama centres on a couple, Maria and her husband Tapiwa – played by Goodwin Ngulube – and features common themes in the diaspora.
There is the challenge of coping with menial work after high profile jobs in back home, the threat of deportation, the stress this brings on relationships, struggles with finances and how these challenges force many to dabble in prostitution and other criminal activities.
Shot in full HD and presenting stunning visuals, Maria’s Vision is set in Luton and Zimbabwe.
Nehanda Radio and TV attended the premiere on Saturday the 23rd of August coincidentally in Luton and captured these images from the event.
