This week, we discuss the growing impact of the African diaspora on the local film industry. Did you know that the diaspora is not only a key audience for African films but also a driving force behind their creation? By producing and consuming these stories, they’re helping to amplify visibility through word-of-mouth, community events, and social media. This dual role is fueling investments, improving production quality, and fostering local talent across the continent. Joining us on the show is Sierra Leonean filmmaker Mahmoud Jobe to discuss his latest project, Redemption Games, alongside the film’s executive producer Hawanatu Kamara and veteran actor David Vandy. Plus, we’ll hear from Namibian storyteller and director Perivi Katjavivi about the exciting developments in Namibia’s budding film industry and his critically acclaimed feature Under the Hanging Tree.
