Women Filmmakers Week

In Rumbi Katedza’s delightful debut feature comedy, Nyarai finds out that her best friend Nonto is getting married. She and her friends are launched into a frenzy of worry that their time to find “Mr. Right” may be running out! Nyarai endeavors to determine if it is possible to find a man as strong and dependable as the mythical traditional warrior. Co-producer Bridget Pickering lauds the film for its time-honored theme and international appeal: “It is a universal story that women from different cultural backgrounds would relate to. This film is about women, by women but for everyone to enjoy.”
