KOMKHULU screeninG
One of our biggest wishes when making this film, was that the Amadiba community would be the first people to see this film and it was screened on the 16th November 2023 at the Komkhulu (the Traditional Court) in Xolobeni dubbed into isiMpondo thanks to Margie Pretorius and her team at Sustaining the Wild Coast.
