Namibia: Kids' Movies Kick Off Greatly

Windhoek — The first screening of the first children movie, Mwansa, by the AfricAvenir/Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre (FNCC) on Saturday has been described as "lovely" by the organisers.

AfricAvenir and the Franco Namibian Cultural Centre (FNCC) has started a monthly African Film Series for Children and Youth, hoping to inspire young imaginations. The films will be inspiring, entertaining and educative at the same time.The attendance, at the first movie, Mwansa the Great by Rungano Nyoni from Zambia, has been described as great with the kids excited. A short talk was held with the kids after the film, on what the film is all about and on what inspires them as kids, among others. While trying to prove he is a hero, Mwansa, an eight- year-old boy does the unforgivable and accidently breaks his sister's magic mud doll. He goes on a quest not only to fix it, but to finally prove that he is 'Mwansa the Great'.
