Vote for Rumbi’s film!

A scene from Asylum by Rumbi Katedza

I think it’s always fantastic when a Zimbabwean does well at international level and whatever support we can give as a nation we should.

Here’s a great opportunity for us to support a talented daughter of Zimbabwe. Rumbi Katedza’s film, Asylum, is up for an award (RCI Migrations People’s Choice Award) and can only win if we vote.

I’ve watched the film- over my dial up connection- and I LOVED it. It’s just under 5 minutes long so it won’t take much of your time. I may be a bit biased but I know where I’m putting my X.

Is this rigging? Stop asking so many questions. Log on to the website, watch it and decide for youself! Danke!
